To calculate the water equivalent of snow, we melt the snow captured in snow gauges like the Nipher snow gauge. This Nipher gauge is designed to diminish the turbulence around the opening of the gauge and positioned high enough above ground to prevent most of the blowing snow from entering the gauge. In many snow events a ratio of 10 to 1 can be applied to the amount of snow to determine its water equivalent. See similar questions...

Snow depth is the measurement from the top of the snow to ground level. The amount of water produced by a snowpack of a given depth varies depending on the density (water content) of the snowpack. Snow water equivalent is the amount of water that would be obtained by melting a depth of snow. See similar questions...

Unless the surgeon advises otherwise, most people return to enjoying both of these sports with the use of a brace. However, remember every individual injury is different. Following the recommendations of the surgeon is of utmost importance. See similar questions...

was the driest year of the three previous runnings, and there were short snowbanks to cross over most of the major passes, with a substantial amount (thigh deep) below Virginus Pass. In '95 almost the entire course was under snow, and the run was cancelled because of it. Expect anything in between. We'll post periodic snow reports here, as the season progresses. You can also check them yourself. There are unseasonable bare spots on the peaks above Silverton. See similar questions...

Distilled water is boiled and the steam condensed for drinking water. Distilled water contains practically no minerals or dissolved solids, whereas RO water does contain trace amount of minerals and salts. Most people report RO as testing better than distilled water, which can taste flat. Distillers use electricity whereas RO's work on line pressure from the household plumbing (Except for commercial and industrial RO Systems, which use pumps)and require no electricity.

Measure the length, height and width of the water in the tank - don't forget to allow for the air at the top or any particularly large items in the tank. Then you can either use this online calculator to get volume in UK and US gallons, or you can work it out yourself. Using measurement in inches, multiply length x width x height. This gives cubic inches. To get litres, multiply by 0.01639. Then for UK gallons, multiply litres by 0.2200 or for US gallons, multiply litres by 0.2642. See similar questions...

No, the fake snow will not melt since it is not really ice. However, the water can be released from the superabsorbent polymer by adding salt. The addition of salt destroys the water absorbing properties of Insta-Snow® forever. See similar questions...

If there is insufficient snow for a run three days before we go, we can cancel and receive a partial refund of monies paid. Full details are available on the Falls Creek Site (see "Snow Guarantee") See similar questions...

Snow removal was done by High School custodians and Buildings and Grounds employees. It will be improved for the winter of 2006/2007 -- there were a few problems this past winter stemming from miscommunications between the two groups. A snow fighter meeting will be held in late October 2006, between the two groups to make sure assignments are clearly understood. See similar questions...

In principle it can snow at any temperature below freezing. It snows at the South Pole even though the temperature is rarely above -40 C (-40 F). In more hospitable climates, however, it doesn't snow so much when the temperature is below around -20 C (-4 F). When a parcel of moist air cools, it starts producing snow before it gets that cold. By the time the temperature drops to -20 C, the snow has already fallen and the air is pretty dry. See similar questions...

CardioChek Lipid Panel Test Strips will automatically calculate LDL values (require CardioChek PA analyzer). If using individual test chemistries with either CardioChek PA or CardioChek analyzers, first test Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides using new, unused test strips.

The timing of ovulation is complex and can take some studying of your body and your cycles to figure out. By using a combination of methods such as studying cervical fluid, taking your body temperature, and tracking your periods, you can calculate your time of ovulation. The American Pregnancy Association encourages women to learn about the fertility awareness method of tracking cycles and then combine that with ovulation predictor kits to best understand when you are ovulating.
