All SNOTEL sites measure snow water content, accumulated precipitation, and air temperature. Some sites also measure snow depth, soil moisture and temperature, wind speed, solar radiation, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. These data are used to forecast yearly water supplies, predict floods, and for general climate research.
USA TODAY map details how much snow has accumulated over the past 24, 48, and 72 hours as well as seasonal totals across the US. ... Snow depth tracker: See how much snowfall has hit the US. Show ...
The large panel in the foreground is the snow pillow. A snow pillow is a device for measuring snowpack, especially for automated reporting stations such as SNOTEL.. The snow pillow measures the water equivalent of the snow pack based on hydrostatic pressure created by overlying snow. [1]
Snow depth at Stryker Basin in the Whitefish Range was 50 inches, while Big Mountain's upper reaches still held 53 inches of snow. Overall, the Flathead Basin snowpack was 85% of normal on May 26 ...
[a] They climbed up to just below the summit of Lookout Mountain [b] at approximately 8500' elevation and dug a snow pit to a depth of five feet on the eastern aspect to account for wind deposition. The results of the pit survey were not recorded but a witness reported remembering the layers: "6 inch fist, 6 inch 4F, 12 inch "two fingers", 24 ...
When snow is collected, the container is removed and replaced with a spare one. The snow is then melted while it is still in the container, and then poured into a glass measuring graduate. While the depth of snow is normally measured in centimetres, the measurement of melted snow (water equivalent) is in millimetres. [citation needed]

The Stick of Truth is a snow depth indicator at the resort, first installed in November 2018. Unlike snow condition data from SNOTEL, the Truth gauge is simple and non-electronic—except for night lighting. It consists of a 18-inch (46 cm) measuring stick (calibrated in inches) on a platform to accumulate snowfall, and a webcam.
