Here are some tips on how to correctly measure the snowfall:
- Measure a cold untreated surface such as your deck, or outdoor table or you can place a plank of wood on top of your grass before the start of the snow and use that as a snowboard and measure from there.
- Take three measurements in different spots and take the average of the three
- Push the ruler straight into the snow, perpendicular to the ground and not at an angle
- Take it as soon as the snow stops falling, don’t wait too long because the snow will compact
