Snow depth map
What is a snow depth map
Snow depth map shows the approximate value right now, as well as the snow depth in the previous 24 hours and the next 10 days. Areas with no snow are shown in gray, the lowest snow depth is shown in blue, and the highest is shown in white.
Note
Snow depth is an approximate estimate calculated based on the water equivalent of the fallen snow and its density. Water equivalent is the thickness of the layer of water that forms when the original amount of snow melts.
