Satellite Interactive Snow Information

[donbrown]

I use this all the time. Typically understates snow depth.

Called up the NOAA and they said this is accurate to a square mile updated several times an hour by satellite and then they fly instrumentation on commercial / military aircraft to get better data. Plus they deploy ground sensors.

Make sure the data is the latest by doing these minimal steps:


Pick a date in the future

SELECT PHYSICAL ELEMANT "SNOW DEPTH"

Select Overlays./ I like to have highways, rivers, lakes, stations, and for large areas a boundary.

THEN REDRAW MAP (make sure date is current)

Cool

Thanks for the info. Since the closet Snotel is about 20 miles away this will give more infor so I can guestimate how much snow is at our snowmobile-in only cabin.

 

[donbrown]

Yes this info is very good.
