     • Snow depth should be a measure of the average depth in a given location and its immediate surroundings. It's usually rounded to the nearest whole number. To get a representative number, you need a site with minimal drifting (not always easy to find), and several measurements should be averaged to get a final number.

   How to measure snow depth accurately?

   • To measure snow depth accurately, you can use a ruler or yardstick. Stake it out in your yard for easy measurement. Following the snowfall, take the necessary steps to get an accurate measurement: the new snowfall and total snow depth at the time of observation are the two measurements needed from observers.

   How do you measure snowfall?

   • To properly measure snowfall, you need a flat, level surface. As with snow depth, you want to avoid areas of drifting when you’re measuring snowfall. The National Weather Service suggests the use of a snow board, which is a white surface that will absorb very little sunlight and stay close to the ambient air temperature.

   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.

   • That assumption would almost always be wrong, of course, but if we 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 snowfalls may only accumulate to a depth of 17 inches.
