   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 same as snow depth?

   • Snow depth is an extremely similar measurement in that it’s the total amount of snow currently collected on the ground. But it's not always identical. If 24 inches of snow fell overnight, the amount of snow depth on the ground in the afternoon might only be 18 inches after 6 inches melted, either due to temperature or being pelted by rain.

   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.

   Do snowfall and snow depth vary during a storm?

   • Most of the time, the amount of snowfall and snow depth are likely to be the same during a storm. However, there are times when these measurements can vary. According to the NWS’s guidelines for snow measurement, if snow changes to rain or sleet, those interested in an accurate snowfall measurement need to do so before the weather changes.

   How is snowfall calculated?

   • To calculate snowfall, the observer must first distinguish how much precipitation is in the form of snow. Other more advanced methods include the use of an automated snow gauge or a snow pillow, in addition to the classic snow gauge consisting of a collecting container and funnel gauge.
