In the name of science, Moses bravely stepped up to offer himself as a canine projectile - to answer the question , just how much new snow actually fell in Moose Meadows ?
Using the scientific process, we hypothesized that at least 36" of snow had accumulated. Then our process required us to hoist an object and measure just how deeply the impact would register in the new snowfall.
Final calculations led us to believe that the depth of new snow is equivelant to one complete dog and then plus some.
Unfortunately, our process was error filled, as the dog was initially carrying a snow cluster weight, which added to his velocity and increased the braking power of the powder.
Tomorrow we will coat him in a fine sheen of PAM cooking spray, and then hypothesize on whether he will clump up with snow before the other neighborhood dogs can lick him clean.
As a test group, I will also coat myself with PAM spray.

The snow cluster weight should not have had a considerable effect on the dog velocity (Vd), as we are all aware of the Newtonian principle of potential energy being converted into kinetic energy. The increase mass would however directly translate into additional force... which should have been beneficial to this experiment. All of this assumes that the dog did not reach terminal velocity. From how high did you drop him?
