snow pillowAn instrument designed to provide a direct estimate of water equivalence of a snowpack by measuring the pressure due to the mass of overlying snow.
snow plumeSame as snow banner.
snow rippleSame as wind ripple.
snow rollerA rolled-up, cylindrical mass of snow, rather common in mountainous or hilly regions. It occurs when snow, moist enough to be cohesive, is picked up by wind blowing down a slope and rolled onward and downward until it either becomes too large or the ground levels off too much for the wind to propel it farther. Snow rollers vary in size from very small cylinders to some as large as 1.5 m long and more than 2 m in circumference.
snow sampler(Also called snow tube.) A hollow tube for collecting a sample of snow in situ. See Mount Rose snow sampler
snow scaleSame as snow stake.
snow shedA protective structure erected over railroad tracks to prevent deep snow from accumulating on the tracks. They are used in deep cuts in mountains where avalanches are common.
snow showerA brief period of snowfall in which intensity can be variable and may change rapidly. A snow shower in which only light snow falls for a few minutes is typically called a snow flurry.
snow skySame as snow blink.
snow smokeSame as snow banner.
