Snowstake Data

From 2006 -2016

All Snowstake measurements were made from a single Snowstake located between the Aquariums and the Pump House.  A measurement was made once a day.  Due to the location near the decking, snow may have been shoveled onto the Snowstake.  A had rail on the deck was used to determine New Snow for the day at the same time.

In 2016 five new Snowstakes were installed in the backyard above TerraLab.  These five Snowstakes are measured daily and averaged.  The Average depth of the five stakes is now used for the Snow Stake "Accumulation" and the difference between the day before and the day of average is recorded as the New Snow.  On January 2017 this new method replaced the previous method as it is much more repetitive.
