@beaverbanker In the FAQ you can read “ New snow: Total snow accumulation in the next hours or days. To estimate the depth of snow, we use the ratio: 1mm of rain = 1cm of snow.” For instance the ECMWF model is giving the snowfall as water equivalent. https://codes.ecmwf.int/grib/param-db/144

New snow 🌨️ - does not work with AROME.

@mrpetewx Hi, I can forward the suggestion to colleagues and we are planning certain updates for this feature. However, I can't promise anything.

@caraccio12 Hi, it is important to note that Freezing level is the altitude at which the 0°C isotherm is reached. But this is in a free atmosphere not near to the ground. So in mountain if the Freezing level is at 1500m it is not sure that the local temperature at 2m above ground level is the same. It is mainly an indication of temperature of the air mass. But it is useful to know it as it shows when locally the rain turns to snowfall It is interesting to look at Airgram as it gives an idea of the 0°C isotherm in the next days at a location.

@korina here's Eaws website https://www.avalanches.org/

@yves70 thanks! the tabular form would be ideal though

@dada-2 Hi, we may add this in future, thanks for suggestion.

@Paolo-Saracino Grazie Paolo, great article! Lake effect snow is also common across the Great Lakes region (USA) when cold air from Canada, moves across the open waters of the Great Lakes. Wind direction is a key component in determining which areas will receive lake effect snow. Heavy snow may be falling in one location, while the sun may be shining just a mile or two away in either direction. The physical geography of the land and water is also important.

I would love to see him to get the snowmobile out of it 😄

@redbellyacres The « Rain, thunder » layer shows snowfall when the precipitations are displayed with the snowflake symbol. [image: 1547732298078-8ca01496-3ed5-44be-9b55-cbcfa1e07a05.jpeg] And locally the weather picker gives the snowfall for the next 3 hours. The « New snow » layer shows the snow depth for the next 12h, 24h, 3, 5 and 10 days. [image: 1547732475828-ccb1a05c-5fd5-4e7e-b38e-061d133edec2.jpeg] You find « New snow » in « Other layers... » and you can add it in the Quick menu.
