snow coverage

Winter ground coating

Snow coverage refers to the extent of ground covered by snow, typically expressed as a percentage or area measurement.

Meteorologists and climate scientists track snow coverage to monitor weather patterns, water resources, and climate change: Satellite data showed 40% snow coverage across the region.

The term appears in weather forecasts, ski reports, and environmental studies.
