8	1200 hrs.	3.4		33.8	The maximum snow amount was 3.5 inches between at 1115 and 1130. The current amount is 3.4 inches as the snow rate has decreased and the temperature is now almost 34 °F giving melting and settling. I did a core sample at 1115 and found the 3.5 inches of snow had 0.95 inches of water in it. A very high liquid equivalent ratio of 1 to 3.7 but there was about 0.5 inches of sleet before it became snow. Currently we have only snow flurries.
