SNINCR

Snow Increasing Rapidly

Reports that snow depth is increasing rapidly, given as the increase in inches during the past hour followed by the total snow depth on the ground. For example, SNINCR 2/10 means snow depth increased 2 inches in the last hour with a total depth of 10 inches on the ground. This remark is critical for assessing runway contamination and braking conditions.
