🌧️ Rain on Snow: Snowpack Cold Content, Ripening and the Flood Hydrograph

A warm rain storm falls on a snowpack: watch the pack refreeze the first rain, ripen, melt under wind and condensation heat, and release a flood peak larger than the rain alone, using a real snowpack energy balance and a routed hydrograph.
