rapid load. A rapid accumulation of precipitation which applies additional stress to the snowpack. This could be from new snow, rain or perhaps even from wind drifted snow. Where it comes from does not matter, only that it is environmental (not human) and adds weight to the snowpack. The term "rapid" would generally refer to a period of hours.
