   Feb 14, 2024 · Thus, the daily snowfall is 7.0 inches (measured to the nearest tenth of an inch) (17.8 cm), while the snow depth at observation is rounded up from 2.6 inches (6.6 cm) to 3 inches (7.6 cm).

   Nov 3, 2022 · Snow Water Equivalent. The map below shows Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) for the Canadian Prairies. SWE represents the depth of water (in mm) that would be produced if the snow melted. The coloured contours show variations in SWE derived from passive microwave satellite data.

   Mar 16, 2017 · If the ground is above freezing, a heavy snow will accumulate faster than it melts. This will accumulate a slushy snow that is good for making snowballs. When heavy snow occurs with a below freezing surface and with below freezing temperatures aloft, accumulation will be immediate and significant.

   Mar 23, 2018 · By definition, snow-to-liquid ratio (also know as snow ratio, or SLR for short) is the ratio of the depth of snow that falls to the depth of liquid water contained in that snow (if it were to be melted).

   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 much water does 10 inches of snow contain?

   • A well-known, but bad rule-of-thumb is that 10 inches of snow will contain 1 inch of water, a 10:1 ratio. The map below of snow ratio climatology for the United States shows this rule-of-thumb is misguided.

   What is snow water equivalent (SWE)?

   • Snow water equivalent (SWE) is a measure of the volume of water contained in snow over an area. Calculate the water volume of snow using these easy steps. The first step is to estimate the volume of snow, which can be done by multiplying the length and width in feet to find the area, and then multiplying by the depth of the snow in feet.

   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.

   What is a 10 to 1 Snow Ratio?

   • A 10:1 ratio (light blue color below) is only common in the southern (warmer) areas and along the coastlines where relatively warm ocean waters feed heat and plentiful moisture into snowstorms. However, for much of the country, including the Front Range, snow ratios are actually higher, generally between 12:1 and 18:1.
