How much does a inch snow weigh?

Answer 1

It depends on how much you have!! One shovelful of snow, for example, weighs less than the amount of snow on your driveway. I suspect what you are really asking is not how much snow weighs but how much it weighs per cubit foot or cubic yard. Weight per unit volume is called density. But even that is tricky with respect to snow. The density of snow varies greatly. Lightly packed powder weighs very little per cubic foot, whereas slushy, wet snow can weigh over 62 pounds per cubic foot -- about the density of water.

Answer 2

It depends on the density of snow, the higher the moisture content of the air, the heavier the snow will be. Think wet snow.

But usually for the "light fluffy stuff" its 5-7 pounds per cubic foot.

For example: You have a 20 foot long sidewalk, that's 3 feet wide. With 6 inches of snow fall its roughly 180 pounds.

Answer 3

As much as a piece of string!

"Six inches" only tells us one dimension.

To get a weight, we need three dimensions.

Answer 4

On average, one inch of snow weighs about 1.25 pounds per square foot. This weight can vary based on the type of snow and how compacted it is.

Answer 5

about 60 inches, or 5 feet of snow

Answer 6

29 kg 29 kg

Answer 7

5 pounds
