What's the best way of taking a core measurement in really deep snow? I pushed my gauge down until it hit the ground, packing the snow in, but it was really hard to push it down enough, and to get it out. I've currently got 23" ( down from 27" yesterday). Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRebecca, good question - not one many of us have to ever worry about. The best way to do this when you have that much snow is to dig a large hole or trench in the snow (straight sides if you can) at a location that represents your snow depth. Dig down to your measuring surface (snowboard or ground). Starting at the top of the snow near the edge of your hole, push your outer cylinder down until the bottom of the cylinder is even with the snow surface (12 inches). Then, take a spatula or other flat instrument and cover the opening of the cylinder so you capture the snow. Now, remove it from the hole. Be sure to wipe off any snow or ice on the outside of the cylinder, and then dump the contents into another container such as a bucket. Repeat until you reach your measuring surface. When you are done, melt and measure what is in the bucket and report that as your SWE of Total Snow and Ice on the Ground. Good luck, and thanks for taking this very important measurement.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Maybe you can add a slide to the training for this.
