6 pm measurements, uncleaned board 13.5 inches, cleaned at 1 pm board 6.3 inches. Adding the 8.5 when cleared to current, that is 14.8 inches of snow since 7 am this morning. Next 'wipe' of the board in an hour (7 pm).
5 pm measurements, uncleaned board 13.2 inches, cleaned at 1 pm board 5.8 inches. I had to pull the CoCoRaHS gauge as it was about to 'top over' on one side again. I'll give the melted in a bit.
Flake size has decreased to a normal size one, but boy is it coming down right now! Among the heaviest of the day, I MAY sneak in a 15 or 16 inch total at this rate!
4 pm measurements, 12.5 on uncleaned board, 5.0 on cleaned at 1 pm board. Snow has let up in last 20 minutes to just 'snow'.... lol. Temp has actually fell a bit, currently 29.0/28.2 at 4 pm.
NWS Blacksburg called me about 5 minutes ago asking for snow totals and conditions, lol. I gave her the same numbers I reported here at 3 pm, 12.5 total on one cleaning at 1 pm and 11.8 on the other untouched board.
3 pm measurements, 4.0 on the cleaned at 1 pm board, 11.8 inches on the untouched board. Adding up the cleaned board makes 12.5 inches total of snowfall since 7 am. Still snowing pretty hard and 29.6/28.9.
Well, I have found out for you. It is snowing half-dollar AND LARGER sized parachutes here in last 5-10 minutes. Incredible. The 2 pm measurement is 10 on the dot on the uncleared snowboard. I cleared at 1 pm the other, 1.8 inches on it.
Just sent in a significant report to CoCoRaHS, mainly because the gauge was about to overfill on one side due to the wind direction at 11:30. 7 inches of snow on .045 liquid. Man I hope this makes it everyone's way, beautiful.
11 am measurement on uncleared board, 6.5". It eased up a bit, but back to heavy parachutes in last 20 minutes! Hoping this continues east and north, you'll like it!
Just measured on the uncleared snowboard, 4.2 inches. Rate has backed off in last 5 minutes and flakes aren't giant parachutes like they were. Hoping all get to enjoy this.
