Which is better six feet of dry snow or six feet of wet snow as for holding a

larger amount of moisture?

[Greywolf]

Of course, wet snow holds more. That's also what makes it feel colder. The moisture in it.































On average, 10 inches of snow equals 1 inch of water.















But keep in mind there are all different kinds of snow. The main difference between snow types is how much water a certain volume of snow holds. Snow-makers often talk about dry snow and wet snow. Dry snow has a relatively low amount of water, so it is very light and powdery. This type of snow is excellent for skiing because skis glide over it easily without getting stuck in wet slush.
