   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.

   What is the difference between snow depth and snowfall?

   • It’s the amount of snow that’s fallen over a given period of time. A region might get 12 inches of snowfall overnight, as measured by the snow that’s accumulated in an area free of obstructions, like an overhang or trees. Snow depth is an extremely similar measurement in that it’s the total amount of snow currently collected on the ground.

   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.

   How does snow depth affect weather?

   • Snow depth can also be influenced by wind carrying snow from one area to another and depositing it on top of existing snow. In short, snowfall is what fell, or what’s expected to fall in a weather forecast; snow depth is what's on the ground in a given place.

   How deep is a snowfall if we suspend reality for a moment?

   • 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.

   Snow most frequently appears white, but deep snow can act as a filter, absorbing more of one color and less of another. Deep snow tends to absorb red light, reflecting the blue tints often seen in snow.

   Snow water equivalent increased in some areas of Canada including southern Saskatchewan, and parts of Alberta and British Columbia. Significant reductions in snow water equivalent are projected across southern Canada in the future, with decreases of 5% to 10% per decade by 2050.
