(1) As measured on Front Lawn at around 20:30, rounded to the nearest inch if there is uncertainty.
*Anemometer was likely frozen from 5:30 PM Dec. 26 to 8:20 AM Dec. 27 but I don't think much wind was "lost".

**There was 1/2" of wet snowfall overnight after 2020 12/30 and before 2330 12/30 which then froze. The .04" of Melted Precipitation on Dec. 31 
was from the snow continuing to melt after the rain collector heater was turned on at 2330 12/30.
