Well todays snow is wet! And Wet snow occurs at temperatures near freezing in the PBL and/or with soil surface temperatures above freezing. Wet snow is partially melted and is therefore denser. Wet snow typically has between a 10 to 1 and 5 to 1 liquid equivalence. This is the snow that makes great snowballs, is tough to shovel, and is not easily drifted by the wind after it reaches the surface. Flakes of wet snow more easily stick together in flight and are not broken apart as much by the wind... #wetsnow #funfact #adaneinnorway #skansen #snow #trondheim #habour #sailor #lighthouse #snowfact #learning #wordsfromasailor
