Abstract
In this report the radar snowfall intensity is compared with that obtained from a snowflake sampler and it is shown that the F-factor of 1/8 can be used as in the case of rain measurement. In case the reflectivity factor Z changes rapidly in wide range just like the day of experiment, the measurement of snowfall intensity by radar causes a large error and is very difficult unless Z is obtained directly.
