Also, what is the typical compaction rate? Thanks. I expect the ratios to be 1:12-1:15 in the beginning and then slowly rise as temperatures drop to 1:15-1:20 ratios. Compaction depends on how much snow falls, the greater the snow depth the more compaction there is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississaugasnow Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Canadian side of Lake Erie getting some of the highest amounts Ive seen in a while. 15-60cm from Long Point ON-Fort Erie ON. Discussion:An intense snow squall is expected to develop over Lake Erie tonight and may impact parts of Long Point through Friday before lifting northward toward the remainder of the Lake Erie shoreline on Saturday. At this time, the highest accumulations are most likely over Long Point. Kincardine-Owen Sound-Parry Sound off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay looking at 30-60cm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
