A snow particle counter was developed and tested for research in the fundamentals of snow transport by wind. Further work created an electronic system that monitors visual range in blowing snow. The system has been applied to interstate highway traffic control. All design and test data are included in this paper, together with shop drawings for fabrication of the sensor, and an operating and service manual for the visual range monitor.
