Info

Q: What if it snowed, but nothing accumulated on the ground? A: If the snow melted as it hit the ground (common when the ground is still warm in the fall), report a “T” (trace) for snowfall. Flurries (even if they don’t reach the ground) are considered precipitation and snowfall. Flurries are reported as both a trace of precipitation and a trace of snowfall.
Q: The wind blew snow onto my snowboard. Does that count? A: Blowing and drifting snow does not count as new snowfall. If it didn’t snow during the past 24 hours, and you find snow on your snowboard, disregard the snow on the board, wipe the board clean, and report zero for snowfall. You can report blowing and drifting snow in remarks.
