Walking in the snow distance calculator...
We are all familiar with the wind chill factor. I have devised an open source solution to the problem of calculating distance walked while there is snow on the ground.
Start with your normal distance you walked in miles. Example: 2 miles
Add .1 if the snow was 1 or 2 inches deep
Add .2 if the snow was deeper
Deduct .25 if the snow has been plowed
Add .1 if they haven’t plowed yet
Add .2 if you had to hop from tire rut to tire rut just to walk down the road
Add .01 if the ruts were firm
Add .3 if the ruts were mushy and slushy
Add .02 if the sun was blinding you more than 50% of the time
Add .01 if any cars splashed you with slush
Add the numbers to your total mileage walked and that is how far (in miles) it FELT like you walked. Your number can also be used on my new Slow-Snow-Walk Factor Chart or the Are-You-Nuts-For-Being-Out-On-A-Day-Like-This? Chart.
