An average of at least several measurements in an area that is flat, and away from any roofs and such. That's probably the best we could do when it's very windy.
Light snow falling. Very fine flakes. 27. Vehicles, driveway, walk and steps getting white. In street 90% wet, some whitening in spots because there has been so much salt put down over the last couple weeks.
I gauge winter on cold. How deep ice is on lake for ice fishing and hockey. It's been cold here. My 20 something year old son is out on lake playing hockey. Ice is around a foot thick. Theres a a good 4-5" of snow on the ground. Still ice in the driveway I can't get rid of. There has been at least some snow on the ground since early January.
