3.0" snow here melted down to 0.24". Ratio 12.5 : 1
1.17" liquid fell as snow here this week (9.4" total).
Season total 14.6"
A good solid early 1950's winter, except much warmer.
3.0" here on the snow boards. Light snow continues, but we're probably into the compaction phase.
Snow depth on the front lawn is 7". There's still nothing under the tall hemlocks in the back.
32/24 here. Watching that awesome band look for all the world like it wants nothing to do with the north shore.
It also looks to be about a mile south of weatherpruf.
A pondering question related to snow ratios:
If location A measures 12 inches of snow with 0.5" SWE and location B gets 6" with 1.0" SWE, who got more snow?
Snow cover is important, but I think the effect of lake water temperatures or lake ice on the temperatures in downstate NY is less than some here seem to think. If you live on the south shore of Lake Erie, then it is significant.
"Device" is a stretch. I just turn a 4" cocorahs gage upside down and push it into the snow, slide a piece of aluminum flashing under it, and bring it inside to melt. It's not perfect, but it's easy enough and at least seems to be in the ballpark.
Melted core sample was 0.93" from 6.4" of snow (just under 7:1). It was pretty much all frozen; maybe a drop or two of rain mixed initially, but maybe not. It looked like all sleet. There could have been a hundredth or two that escaped, but I have no way of determining that.
