Here's a quote:
"In contrast to rain, precipitation currents carried to
ground by snow are usually always negative under
potential gradients between +/- 800 V/m (Chalmers 1956).
The total precipitation current around the earth is
estimated to be about +340 amperes."


So that would give a current of about 0.06 picoamperes per square foot?


oh my god. there are several picoamperes on my antennas! what should i do?

Well, one fellow wanted to use them to trickle charge a battery. Good
luck with that!
