Abstract
Snowpack data and temperature information in the form of degree‐day calculations are analyzed for Paradise, Mt. Rainier, for the weeks following the May 18, 1980, eruption of Mt. St. Helens. The figures are compared with similar computations for the preceding 25 years. The results show that the dark ash layer increased the snowmelt rate by some 40% over what would have been expected from ambient temperatures.
