The best way would be to remove a square foot of it (assuming you know the area of your deck in square feet) and put all the snow in a container. Then you can either wait for it to melt or heat it up somehow so that you just have water.
The next part is a little trickier, because you will use the volume of your water and the known density of water to get the mass of the melted snow. You'll have to measure the volume of the water in milliliters somehow and then convert to cubic meters. Take your measured milliliters and divide by a million (or if you have liters, divide by 100,000 - I honestly have no idea how much water you'll have in a square foot of snow) to get cubic meters.
Now! The density of water = 1kg/cubic meter. Since density = mass/volume and your density is 1, your mass is actually the same number as the volume you got, except the units cancel out to kilograms. Multiply that by the number of square feet your deck is and you have your mass in kilograms...simple enough to convert to pounds.

How do you calculate the weight of snow on a pitched roof?
Surface area of the roof times depth of snow gives volume of snow. Take a sample of snow and weight it to determine density (since the density of snow can vary quite a bit). Density times volume equals weight.
Do snow shoes increase or decrease a persons weight in deep snow?
They don't do anything to a person's weight. What they do is allow what weight there is to be spread over a greater area, which means that the pressure on the ground is lower. With less pressure, a person doesn't sink as far into the snow.
Why are snow shoes broad and not of the size of your feet?
Snow shoes are broad in order to spread the weight over a larger portion of the snow, which prevents you from sinking into the snow.
What makes snow stick together?
water and weight [pushing together hard]
Does the earth weigh more after it snows?
No..Snow is frozen moisture, which means it was present as water before it became snow, so no change in weight is possible.
Do you need to remove snow from a deck?
Yes, it is very possible that snow will collapse a deck. The heavier the snow, the more likely that a deck will collapse.
How do you make horus deck?
It depends on your cards and what you want to do with the deck; no one can figure it out for you.
