Snow often has the following features on radar: a. A fairly low reflectivity for dry snow. Wet snow can have a much more significant reflectivity. Determine the likely water content of the snow along with examining the radar images. b. The gradient between colors tends to be gradual. Often there are varying shades of the lower reflectivity colors. c. It tends to have a grainy or fuzzy appearance. The edges of the precipitation areas may not have a well defined edge in light snow situations. Below are some examples of snow on radar (more examples will be added over time): SNOW ON RADAR
