You typically need at least 4 inches of snow to build a snowman. This amount of snow provides enough material to form the body, head, and other parts of the snowman. If the snow is wet and sticky, you may need less snow to create a snowman.
To compact snow, you can use a snow compactor, such as a snow shovel or a snow blower, to press the snow down firmly. Additionally, walking or driving over the snow can help pack it down. Compacted snow is denser and harder, making it easier to walk on or plow.
One scoop of snow might be called a shovelful of snow. It might also be called a plower. You could call one scoop of snow the beginning of a long afternoon of shoveling snow as well.
There is only one word for snow in Hawaiian, which is "hau."
A man-made avalanche is an avalanche triggered intentionally by humans using explosives, artillery, or other methods to control snowpack stability. This is commonly done in avalanche-prone areas to minimize the risk to people and infrastructure.
