Snow grains

For most of us it’s usually pretty exciting to see snow in the UK, because it doesn’t happen all that often. The reason for this is that we are surrounded by relatively warm seas, which can often keep our temperatures up.

Originating in North America, a blizzard refers to a cold, strong wind that is laden with snow which significantly reduces visibility.

Snow depth is measured using a snow depth sensor which measures the distance between the sensor and the ground beneath it.
