✦ Wet snow is significantly heavier than dry, fluffy snow due to its high water content. Its weight can vary, but here are some common estimates:

• Per Cubic Foot: Wet snow can weigh from 15 to over 25 pounds per cubic foot. In extreme cases, it can approach the weight of water (62.4 pounds per cubic foot). For comparison, light, fluffy snow might only weigh 1 to 3 pounds per cubic foot.
• Snow-to-Water Ratio: While average snow has a 10-to-1 ratio (10 inches of snow melts down to 1 inch of water), heavy, wet snow can have a ratio as low as 3-to-1 or 2-to-1. This extra weight makes wet snow difficult to shovel and increases the risk of roof collapses and avalanches.
