Actual snow dept.
-
Found that snow depth is very much out.
Went to place where its out by meter and over that, actually there was not snow literally at all.....
Whys that?

@Mgra
Where did you check the snow depth and what weather model did you use? -
@idefix37 sorry, Im not sure what you mean?

@Mgra
You said “ Went to place where its out by meter”, what is this place ?
And you don’t know that Windy offers several weather models ? So I guess it is the default model named ECMWF.By the way, you are requested to change your user profile picture. The Windy community is not a place for advertising. Otherwise you will be denied access.

@idefix37 ok, so location you mean, it was in Sweden, near Norway boarder.
Didnt know it offers weather model for imagination of snow.
Didnt think "snow dept" can be something else...translated to finnish.Will change the "advertise" , vitust anteeks vaa.

@Mgra
The Norway boarder is so long, this is not precise !
Anyway the location is probably in mountains and we know that global models like the ECMWF, the default model in Windy, with a 9km resolution is not so good in this type of relief for temperature, limit between rain and snow…
So this model cannot provide an accurate snow cover. ICON has a slightly better resolution 7km.
Unfortunately there is no high resolution model over Scandinavia in Windy for Snow depth.
For local forecast you can use the METEOBLUE model available in meteograms. It gives better prediction specially for temperature. -
@idefix37 we drove tens of kilometer (probably 80km's) in terrain with literally no snow (under 30cm) and it still shows between 100-180cm on every "model"
I followed temperatures and snow dept weeks before the trip and we went really wrong.We do sports that rely on deep snow.
So its just so that its not usable in anyway?
