     • Impressive as the depths recorded in North America might seem, the deepest snow on earth accumulates in the Japanese Alps of Honshu Island around the 2,000-6,000’ level. The average annual snowfall is estimated to be in the 1200-1500” range (see The Climate of Japan by E. Fukui p. 171).

   How deep can a snowfall accumulate?

   • But if you suspend reality for a moment, the depth will still never exceed the sum of all snowfalls because snow is compressible. So, two 10.5-inch (27-centimetre) snowfalls may accumulate to a depth of only 17 inches (43 cm). It’s the compressibility of snow that causes the greatest consternation with snowfall measurement.

   How many inches of snow can a snowfall accumulate?

   • So, two 10.5-inch (27-centimetre) snowfalls may accumulate to a depth of only 17 inches (43 cm). It’s the compressibility of snow that causes the greatest consternation with snowfall measurement. How are snowfall totals measured? Snowfall is the amount of snow that accumulates during a given time, usually a 24-hour period.

   Is snow depth the sum of all snowfalls?

   • Snow depth is like the sum of individual snowfalls, if one assumes no sublimation – snow turning into water vapor – or melting from the first snowfall until now. That assumption would almost always be wrong, of course. But if you suspend reality for a moment, the depth will still never exceed the sum of all snowfalls because snow is compressible.

   What is the highest snow depth ever measured?

   • The highest snow depth ever measured in North America was 451 inches (37.5 feet) in March 1911. The seasonal total at Tamarack, California, reached 884 inches during 1906-1907. The record for the highest snow depth in the world is 974.1 inches at Thompson Pass, Alaska (just north of Valdez), measured during 1952-1953.

   Snow falls in the accumulation area, usually the part of the glacier with the highest elevation, adding to the glacier's mass. As the snow slowly accumulates and turns to ice, and the glacier increases in weight, the weight begins to deform the ice, forcing the glacier to flow downhill.
