SNOWPACK The amount of annual accumulation of snow at higher elevations.
Snowpack The total snow and ice on the ground, including both the new snow and the previous snow and ice which has not melted.

In hydrologic terms, a snow sampler consisting of five or more sections of sampling tubes, one which has a steel cutter on the end. The combined snowpack measuring depth is 150 inches.
ripening of snow"The process by which a snow pack reaches a state where it can yield meltwater, including warming of the snowpack to 0°C, wetting of the snow, and coarsening of the snow texture.
The areal extent of snow-covered ground, usually expressed as percent of total area in a given region. 2. In general, a layer of snow on the ground surface. Compare snowfield, snowpack. 3.
air passes over cool ground by advection (wind) and is cooled. This form is most common at sea when tropical air encounters cooler higher-latitude waters. It is also extremely common as a warm front passes over an area with significant snowpack.
