I hope that's C and not F.

Why? Is 30 fm's of snow a lot?

"f" is the SI prefix for femto, so fm is femtometer. 30 fm of snow is
3x10^-14 meters of snow, or significantly less thickness than the
surface irregularities of the most finely finished bicycle components.

Worse than that, it is about 1000 times smaller than a water molecule.

An average thickness of 30 fm could be achieved by spreading the water
molecules sufficiently far enough apart. However, that would certainly
provide no impediment to cycling. 😉
