graupnel is also more prone to avalanche than a fall of ordinary snowflakes. Flows of wind-packed slabs of snow can be especially hazardous.
Many avalanches are small slides of dry powdery snow that move as a formless mass. These sluffs account for a tiny fraction of the death and destruction wrought by
their bigger, more organized cousins. Disastrous avalanches occur when massive slabs of snow break loose from a mountainside and shatter like broken glass as they race
downhill. These moving masses can reach speeds of 80 miles 130 kilometers per hour within about five seconds. Victims caught in these events seldom escape. Avalanches are
most common during and in the 24 hours right after a storm that dumps 12 inches 30 centimeters or more of fresh snow. The quick pileup overloads the underlying
snowpack, which causes a weak layer beneath the slab to fracture. The layers are an
