I love spring snow storms. The moisture it provides to plants just thinking about waking up is incredible. We had such a storm over the weekend. I think we probably got about 16 inches or so. Kinda hard to tell but I am pretty good at estimating. What I didn't know was how much actual moisture is contained within the snow. Thank goodness for Google and it states that about 10 inches of snow is equal to 1 inch of moisture. Yes that does depend on how wet the snow is, etc, etc. Based on this, maybe 1-1.5 inches of moisture. No complaints. Actually the real issue is shoveling all of the snow and at times it is painful with pandemic muscles.
Now I am patiently waiting for it melt and then I can start my normal spring gardening activities.
