I measured the depth of snow on a flat white surface (1.3"). Using a thin piece of cardboard I used the funnel part of my gauge inverted over the flat surface to gather the accumulated snow. I melted the snow with a known amount of warm water (1.00" inches) to melt the snow and then measured the total which was 1.43".
