11/19/2019 7:00 AM T T M M M About 17 snowflakes fell yesterday at 8:05 a.m. If you weren’t looking out the window just then, you wouldn’t have seen them.

1/9/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Forecast calls for possible rain/icy mix this morning, turning to rain once temps rise. Otherwise, this area looks to get whacked Fri-Sun with potential 6-10” of snow. Forecast changes every 12 hours, however, so only time will tell what actually happens here.
1/10/2020 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 M M M Icy mist/drizzle yesterday morning until temp rose above freezing. 45 degrees at midnight but temp now 35 degrees at obs. time.

1/12/2020 7:00 AM 0.21 2.5 M M M Significantly less snow than forecast as front moved/stayed farther north of this area yesterday. Icy surfaces from Friday’s precip. hide beneath new snow, making walkways and some less-treated roadways a challenge. More light snow possible overnight.

1/14/2020 7:00 AM T 0.0 M M M Icy mist/drizzle during the wee hours left thin layer of ice on untreated surfaces, but temp at obs. time here is 33 degrees — shouldn’t be a problem for long.

1/16/2020 7:00 AM 0.02 T M M M Precip. yesterday morning transitioned back n’ forth between rain, sleet and (briefly) snow. Too warm for snow to stick. Temp was 27 degrees at midnight; at obs. time, it’s 13 degrees and precip. in 4-inch gauge was frozen, so it took a bit to thaw for today’s reading.
1/17/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cold but dry yesterday. 13 degrees at obs. time. Snow forecast for later and Winter Weather Advisory runs from 5:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. tomorrow, with potential for 3-6” of snow.

1/24/2020 7:00 AM 0.14 0.8 M M M Light, steady snow yesterday from obs. time to ~1:00 p.m. Temp reached 37 degrees and helped melt-clean shoveled driveways and sidewalks.

Still snowing lightly now but should end midday.
1/26/2020 7:00 AM 0.11 1.1 M M M Snow persisted until ~noon yesterday despite a temp here of 33-35 degrees all morning. Like early morning snow, this round’s was also wet/heavy — perfect snowman snow. At obs. time, overcast and slight breeze but dry.

2/13/2020 7:00 AM 0.18 2.2 M M M Long, slow snow event started yesterday p.m. and continues at obs. time. Snow is very dry and granular, a la sugar crystals. Strong winds from the NW create drifts and make measurements a challenge this morning, but 2.2” is reasonably accurate average based on several measurements.
2/14/2020 7:00 AM 0.01 0.2 M M M Snow ended yesterday around 10:45 a.m., which is when measurement was taken. At obs. time, sunny blue skies ineffective against the temp of 3 below zero, with a windchill in the teens.

The snowstorm forecast is all over the place because of difficulties predicting its path; yesterday, this area faced potential 10-12” of snow but this morning, it might receive anywhere from a dusting to 4-6” of snow on Tuesday.
2/25/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Major snow-bullet dodged here as forecast now calls for possible flurries overnight instead of the 10+ inches of snow forecast 24 hours ago. At obs. time, 33 degrees, overcast and breezy.

3/6/2020 7:00 AM T M M M M Precip. fell as rain briefly yesterday morning and again in the late-afternoon, but hardly enough moisture to dampen surfaces.

3/9/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 49 degrees and overcast at obs. time. Per radar, rain moving in from the SW, and forecast calls for rain much of the day.
3/10/2020 7:00 AM 0.70 0.0 M M M Steady misty-drizzle most of yesterday, with periods of steadier rain after dark. All precip. fell as rain.
3/11/2020 7:00 AM 0.13 0.8 M M M Mix of wet snow and icy rain overnight ended ~5:30 this morning, which is when snowfall was measured. Streets and sidewalks essentially snow-free, and forecast temps in the 40s should take care of rooftops and grassy surfaces fairly rapidly.

4/8/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Dense Fog Advisory until 9 a.m. Visibility presently ~0.25 mile or less. Heavy condensation on exterior of CoCo gauge and other surfaces. Temp hit 76 degrees here yesterday, but will return to mid-40s by week’s end.

Rain started early evening and continued throughout the night, but transitioned to sleet/icy mix ~3:00 a.m. No sign of snow but frozen sleet on some surfaces presents some slippery spots, and 4-inch CoCo gauge needed some coaxing out of the bracket to thaw/measure partially frozen precip.

4/15/2020 7:00 AM T T M M M Crazy afternoon yesterday, starting ~12:20 p.m., as brief periods of snow flurries alternated with sunshine — often falling as the sun shone brightly. No accumulation until around 6:30, when an intense snow shower left a dusting of snow. That quickly gave way to sunshine again, which created cool “snow shadows” in spots. At obs. time, 27 degrees and sunny.

4/30/2020 7:00 AM 1.12 0.0 M M M Rain yesterday and overnight never ceased as a north-to-south storm front ran like a conveyor belt over this area. Strong, gusty north wind drove the rain against windows during the wee hours before finally shifting to westerly and diminishing a bit.
