The frontal passage around 0330 brought in sudden winds ... dead calm from 2300-0330 was suddenly replaced by a 34mph gust at 0337 (which I could hear coming for ~30 seconds), followed by Fresh-Strong Breeze thru obs time.
12/31/2019 9:00 AM 0.22 1.7 0.22 1.5 M Sorry Obs Time is late. Cannot estimate how much snow fell by 7am. Radar indicates lt snow may have started about 4:30am, and was definitely lt-mod snow by 6:30am. Twas lt snow at 9am when I started measuring. Gauge and core readings are similar (gauge is more) with 44g in the gauge (0.219"). Snow depth seems to be 1.7" where sheltered some from the wind.

Lt snow began about 0100, became very light by 0130, and radar indicates it moved out by 0230. Temperature remained above freezing until after 0200, the suspected 0.5" snow (estimated but not measured at 0130) turned to frozen slush with thin layer of snow. All that remained on the board this morning was a layer 0.1" (about half frozen slush) with SWE of 0.06". So 1.43" rain + 0.06" SWE snow. Measurements at 1040, 1320, and 0700.

Mod snow 2300-0000, ending with a little sleet and freezing drizzle mixed in. At 0015, measured 2.0" snow. Outside of gauge had a splattering of ice. Gauge caught 30.1g 0.15". Core was 41.8g 0.21". Gauge emptied. Snow mixed with sleet began about 0050 and became mostly freezing rain by 0250. The temperature rose above 32.0 at 0645. At 0800, there remained 0.1" ice coating (including on outside of gauge) with some branches down. An additional 107.4g 0.53" in gauge. Snow/ice cover was packed down to 1.0"; it was still raining lightly. Added 0015 core to 0800 gauge for total precip. Melted core is 0015 measurement, as is the new snow reported. The sleet is unaccounted for in "new snow", but SWE is included in the 0800 gauge measurement.
1/19/2020 7:00 AM 0.15 0.2 0.01 0.5 M Lt rain thru 0750, then lt rain showers thru about 1000, then occ sprinkles/mist thru about 1400. @1415 measured 27.6g 0.14". Winds gusting in the 30s after 1405 (max 37mph @1934) ushered in cold air. Occ lt snow showers after sunset left a dusting by 2300, then steadier lt snow thru about 0400 has left 0.2" new snow. Still occ flurries. A little snow cover survived the rain, ponding has frozen.
1/20/2020 7:00 AM 0.01 0.1 0.01 0.5 M Very lt snow yesterday mid afternoon thru early evening. It was a bit breezy most of that time. The gauge caught only 0.6g, but the core was 1.3g (0.0065"). Snow depth is either about 0.1-0.2" in small spots, or 0.5" in the other small spots, with perhaps 60% of the yard being the deeper spots, so that would make an average depth of 0.36".
1/21/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M There were reports of snow showers in the area, but none observed by me; nor were there any traces of any happening here. Snow cover remains only in shaded areas.

Occ lt showers, drizzle overnight. Hourly totals: 07 0.02", 08 0.02", 09 0.04", 10 0.01", 11 0.07", 12 0.10", 13 0.01", 14 0.03", 16 0.03", 17 0.03", 19 0.01", 21 0.08", 05 0.01". No snow observed but possible after 3am. Only remnants of piled snow remain. More ponding than normal for the amount of rain (but not enough to warrant Minor), perhaps the ground had frozen a little with our brief cold snap 19th-21st.
1/26/2020 7:00 AM 0.21 1.1 0.14 1.0 M Lt snow melting on contact, mixed with rain 0955-1045, then lt snow and graupel (perhaps still some rain mixed in) beginning 1220, becoming mod snow by 1400, finally started accumulating on grass by 1445. Paved surfaces had traces of slush by 1630, while grass had ~ 1/2". Snow moved out by 1830. Temperature finally fell to freezing about 1745 and has remained a little below freezing since. Measured at 0100: 0.9-1.1" on measuring surface, maybe a little more on grass. Gauge caught 0.21" rain/SWE, core from measuring surface was 0.14". No detectable precipitation overnight.
1/27/2020 7:00 AM 0.02 0.2 0.02 T M Lt snow between 0200-0300. Gauge caught 3.1g 0.0154", 0.2" core was 3.9g 0.0194". Despite no sunshine and a high of less than 34F, most (~75%) of yesterday morning's snow cover melted by nightfall.
1/28/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Patches of snow cover only in deeply shaded spots.
1/29/2020 7:00 AM T T M T M Occ snow flurries, sometimes just grains of snow. Nothing remains in gauge. Scattered small patches of snow remain in sheltered areas.
1/30/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Still same remnants of snow cover as yesterday. A day with less than 3F spread in temperature maxing at 32.7F, and thick overcast. Yesterday was much like every other day this week -- temperature so far this week has ranged from 34.9 to 29.2; and nary so much as a faint glimpse of the blinding orb that use to appear in the daytime sky.
1/31/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Still same remnants of snow. Temperature since noon Saturday 1/25 has stayed in the range of 29.2-34.9F, with overcast skies (not even a faint glow in the clouds where the sun should be).
2/1/2020 7:00 AM 0.01 T M 0.0 M Lt snow yesterday morning quickly melted; probably about 0.1" but I did not have a chance to measure it. This morning, only remnants of piled snow remain.
