snow accumulation

Snow accumulation refers to the buildup of snow on the ground when snowfall exceeds the rate at which it melts or is removed. It is influenced by factors like temperature, humidity, wind, and the intensity and duration of snowfall. The depth of accumulated snow can vary from light dustings to several feet, impacting transportation, environment, and daily life. Accumulation depends on consistent cold temperatures and continuous snowfall, and it can change over time as weather conditions fluctuate. Monitoring snow accumulation helps in managing safety, transportation, and resource planning during winter months.
