Abstract:
An apparatus for measuring snow depth includes a snow collector defining substantially vertically extending and opposing side walls. A plurality of light emitting devices equidistantly spaced in a substantially vertical manner is positioned along one side wall of the snow collector. A plurality of light sensors is equidistantly spaced in a substantially vertical manner along an opposite side wall of the snow collector. Each of the light sensors is optically aligned with a respective light emitting device for detecting light emitted from the light emitting device. A wireless transmitter is electronically coupled to the plurality of light sensors for transmitting signals regarding the state of the plurality of light sensors. A wireless receiver is configured for receiving the signals. A processor is programmed to receive the signals and determine and display a snow depth based on the signals.
