SNOWFALL-DETECTING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a snowfall-detecting apparatus which can surely grasp a snowfall intensity and can also reduce costs of a signal line. SOLUTION: A snowfall intensity is judged on the basis of signals of each electrode pair 2 set to a plurality of points of a snow-receiving plate 1a, so that the snowfall intensity can be surely grasped. In this case, each rectifying smoothing circuit 6 set for each electrode pair 2 is arranged to the side of a detector body 1. Signals of the electrode pairs 2 are sequentially changed over by a signal switch circuit 7 to be outputted to a control circuit 11 of a control part body 10. Therefore, the need of setting a signal line 12b of a cable 12 for connecting the detector body 1 with the control part body 10 for each electrode pair 2 is eliminated.
