ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus for collecting snow in a high wind ironment. An apertured vessel has upstanding side walls, a closed bottom and an open top for receiving a flexible liner therein. The walls of the vessel have apertures therein for allowing the liner to be drawn against the interior walls of the vessel by wind induction. A baffle is secured to the vessel for covering a portion of the open top to thereby promote entrapment of precipitation within the vessel. An adjustable supporting bracket is secured to the vessel for selectively positioning the open top of the vessel with respect to the wind to maximize collection of now. Other forms of precipitation may be collected in the apparatus as desired.
