Just tried to do a core, but am suspicious of my results.

Measured 4.8" of undisturbed snow.  Melted it down to about 3/16th of inch water (.1875").  That would give a little over a 25:1 ratio.

Honestly, my measuring/collection technique is probably not precise enough for snow this airy.  I used a low temp heat gun to melt the snow, but I'm worried I may have evaporated some of the water during the melting.

I'll try again to see what I find.
