I'm doing hourly measurements in one area and 6 hourly in another for the official. Want to see any compaction differences since....I can lol 

Measurement incoming in 5-10 min

Steady Moderate to borderline heavy snow. Just puking small flakes at a break neck pace right now. Flake size is slowly increasing. Best FGEN will be in the area in 2-3 hrs, then "Katy bar the door..."

question on this actually. is it better to keep my measurements precise until the very end to round it up? bc if i keep rounding it up intermittently, then don't i risk overinflating totals?

Typically on a snow measurement, you want to keep to the "tens" place after the decimal, so anything that ends with a 5 like ___.15, just round up to the next digit. It won't inflate totals much. You'll be good!
