The snow depth is measured at 6:00 UTC (7 a.m. local time). Fresh snow depth contains the snow which has been accumulated within the last 24 hours. The snow depths are measured manually and are only partly checked and therefore may include gaps or errors.

At some sites the coordinates for the snow measurements differ from the automatic stations (see the PDF-list at the bottom of page).
