Bittinger 2NW Valley

precip multi day liquid equivalent 1.76.(.16 today liquid) I will note the 4″ gauge at times would build around up the rim with snow(I fixed multiple times) which likely had some impact in the gauge towards a slightly lower catch.

New snowfall 4.4 at 7am. A trace after 7am. Event total 14.2″, season to date total 14.2″. Max depth of 12″ occured at 2:30am and was at 11″ at 7am.

Andrew Lilly “To say the conditions were adverse would be a large understatement. Logged wind gust of34 mph, but know there were some higher winds than that, plus plenty of snow and drifting. Woke up to 18” of fresh, wet & heavy snow, which made navigating through the laurel amd rhodos a bit tricky. Despite the conditions, I had a blast and the beauty of the Sods was spectacular.”
