Probably !! As a high altitude climber who has had to melt snow to get drinking water I can tell you that to make three litres of water the amount of snow required filled a very large plastic sack!
The water content of snow is more variable than most people realize. While many snows that fall at temperatures close to 32oF and snows accompanied by strong winds do contain approximately one inch of water per ten inches of snowfall, the ratio is not generally accurate. Ten inches of fresh snow can contain as little as 0.10 inches of water up to 4 inches depending on crystal structure, wind speed, temperature, and other factors. The majority of U.S. snows fall with a water-to-snow ratio of between 0.04 and 0.10.
Does snow make you excited or unhappy?
