What else can I help you with?
Do you need to remove snow from a deck?
Yes, it is recommended to remove snow from a deck to prevent damage caused by the weight of the snow. Excess snow can lead to structural stress or water damage to the wood over time. Be sure to use appropriate tools and techniques to safely remove the snow without causing damage to the deck surface.
What percentage of the Earth's surface is covered in snow and ice?
Approximately 10 of the Earth's surface is covered in snow and ice.
Why does stamping your feet clean the snow off them?
Stamping your feet helps loosen the snow or ice that has accumulated on your boots, causing it to fall off. The impact of stamping creates vibrations that break the snow's grip on the surface of your footwear, making it easier to remove.
Would snow have a low or high albedo value?
Snow would have a high albedo value. Albedo is a measure of how well a surface reflects solar energy. Snow reflects a high percentage of sunlight, which is why it appears bright, giving it a high albedo value.
Which surface would have the highest albedo?
A surface covered in freshly fallen snow would have the highest albedo, reflecting the most sunlight back into space.
How do the high speed brooms remove the snow from the airfield surface?
powerful blast of air
How far can the multi-purpose snow removal unit move the snow off the airfield surface?
up to 150 ft
What speed does the High-speed Runway plow operate when removing snow off the airfield surface?
At speeds up to 40 miles per hour
What term is used for pulling snow away from the edges of the runway and taxiways and for clearing snow from around the airfield lights?
cutbacks

Is Sunlight that strikes a snow covered surface reflected?
Yes, sunlight that strikes a snow-covered surface is mostly reflected due to the high albedo of snow, which is the amount of solar radiation reflected by a surface. This reflection is why snow appears bright and can contribute to glare on sunny days.
Why should skis have a large surface area?
I believe it has something to do with the large surface area resulting in lower pressure on the snow (or whatever your skiing on, if not snow) so you don't fall into the snow.
Can you remove studs from snow tires?
Yes, studs can be removed from snow tires.
When will snow team members begin clearing the streets and parking lots around the base?
cleared entire airfield after priority one directed by base civil engineer
Is there less friction if snow skies have a large surface area?
Yes, snow skis with a larger surface area can reduce friction by distributing the skier's weight more evenly across the snow. This allows for better gliding and maneuverability on the snow.
