At what degrees does snow form?

For snowfall to occur, the appropriate air temperature must be 0°C and below. However, in some cases, it has been observed that snow falls even when the air temperature is 3-4°C. In this case, if the air temperature does not drop, the snow begins to melt quickly. Snow is rarely seen in places close to the sea due to humidity.

How deep should the snow be for skiing?

Skiing, which is an indispensable recreational sport in the winter months, requires suitable conditions. In order to do this sport, the average snow thickness should be between 50-70cm. With suitable conditions and the use of the necessary equipment, skiing can be done on snow tracks. Snow tracks are available separately for children and adults.

How to calculate snow depth?

Snow height values are measured with pluviometer, pluviograph, totalizer, snow printer, snow sample tubes, snow scales and other instruments. Musos V2 is a device used to determine snow and water height. This device measures according to the return time of sound signals.

Although snow depth determination is generally used for winter sports in our country, it is also used for road conditions on highways, for our farmers in case it affects crops in the field, for the determination of the durability of building roofs and for many other reasons.
