Winter Storm Kenan will bring generally fluffy snow - what does that mean for possible impacts:
Why Winter Storm Kenan's Fluffy Snow Might Help Turn This Nor'easter Into a BlizzardSnow from this weekend's nor'easter will be fluffy and powdery due to colder temperatures.Powdery snow is easier to shovel but can pile up quickly.
Kenan's snow will be the powdery, fluffy kind. Powdery snow easily blows around, and when combined with the strong winds expected with this nor’easter, will greatly reduce visibility and may result in blizzard conditions at times. The good news is that fluffy snow is lighter and easier to shovel, so it doesn’t weigh down on tree limbs or power lines as much as a similar amount of heavy, wet snow. The only catch is it also piles up quicker as less water is needed to result in a lot of snow.
But if temperatures at the surface are a bit above freezing that ratio could be closer to 5 inches of snow to an inch of liquid, or heavy, wet snow. Conversely, if temperatures are in the 20s that ratio could be 15 or 20 inches of snow for one inch of water.Temperature also plays a crucial role in whether the snow that's actively falling is heavy and wet, or light and fluffy.
