Snow mods: We have been bested by mother nature.

[Frank Lee]

I've built full-sized prototypes with foam. Very very... VERY messy!

I started leaving the snow on the roof of my Jeep to get an idea of what the flow did on top. Looks like the air re-attaches about 1/3 of the way back on the roof.

Here's a stratus I saw at school today... Looks a bit like a Lotus Esprit.

That stupid snow completely failed to fix the flow over the backlight I say we fire Mother Nature.

Give her a break, she ran out due to global warming.

Try looking at the shapes that snow gets drifted into against other objects besides just on cars. And also take into account the liquid density of snow. Wet snow will pack and freeze and the shape we see may not be so much the result of aerodynamics as of imobility. While dry powder snow flows quite nicely and should leave some interesting ideas to test.
