Dry snow refers to snow that can easily be blown around when it is loose. If you compact it by hand, it will break apart again once you release it. This type of snow has a specific gravity of up to, but not including, 0.35. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) guidelines, understanding dry snow is essential for various activities, including aviation operations and winter sports. Knowing its characteristics helps in making informed decisions about safety and performance in snowy conditions.
