I cut the top of a 16.9 ounce water bottle off, and filled it flush to the top with loose dry snow to let melt and measure. The cut bottle measured right at 5½ inches tall, once it melted down there was right at ¾ of an inch of water. That’s only about 13.64% of the initial volume, meaning the snow was about 86.36% air.
We also just got a weather update for our town, they’re saying we got about 7 inches of snow, which would have only been just shy of an inch of rain (about 61/64 of an inch), if it hadn’t come down as snow.
Edit: 7 inches ≈ 1 banana

That’s pretty cool. How much snow do they say you got?
The weather people said about 7 inches, which seems about right from when I took our dog for a walk earlier.
It was Brownie’s first time seeing snow, I almost couldn’t get him to go outside. He wasn’t having any of that shit either, he didn’t go far at all past going down the stairs to stop in his tracks and make some yellow snow. Then he was like fuck this, time to go back inside.
Ahaha, a very reasonable response to snow from a living being with foot who doesn’t get to put on socks!
Damn, i was not expecting you to say that much. That’s a good amount even up north for a couple days of snow. Not storm, but they’d put an advisory out for 7.
Lol that’s funny, my grandparents dog does that
