A snow scale for measuring the maximum depth of accumulated snow in remote regions was developed.The snow scale consists of a wooden pole with 10 cm aluminium pins of 3 mm in diameter driven into the pole at 10 cm intervals on both sides of the pole. The pin is bent downward by the settling force of snow when it is covered with new snow of about 10 cm in depth, but is not bent by snow or ice accretion. The snow scale is set up before the snowfall and after the snow melts the maximum snow depth can be seen from the height of the bent pins.Good agreement between the depth measured by this snow scale snd that obtained by actural measurements in various places of the country, was seen. The tests were run over the past 5 years.
