Caught in a lie you try to continue with it through semantics and obfuscation. Ice is thicker than water. Therefore any compression of the snow will result in less than the 1 to 10 ratio of snow to water - as I already pointed out. Your 1 to 90 could have been called a mistake before this last post, but it can no longer be called that. You are intentionally making up stuff in an effort to deceive.gore3000, *what* do you not understand about the difference between wet snow and dry snow? It was explained to you quite clearly, with a reference to boot, and you accuse him of "making stuff up in an effort to deceive"!!! Is this Christian behavior? Here is another page which proves his point: http://epswww.unm.edu/facstaff/gmeyer/envsc101/wk10glacial.htm ...from a lecture on glaciers. Various densities mentioned:
gore3000 is the one "making stuff up".Snow - density ~0.05 g/cm3 or less for cold dry powder (density of water = 1.0), wet snow is more dense [...]
Glacial ice - density 0.85-0.9
