we will get 45 inches of snow
it is going to snow 6 inches of snow
You would get about 1.2 inches of water for every foot of snow that melts.The average snow-to-water yield is 10 inches to 1 inch, but this varies considerably. Only 5 inches of "wet snow" will yield an inch of meltwater, but it takes 15 inches of dry powder.
it has 5 inches of snow
6 inches would be about .6 inches of water when melted usually 1 inch of rain = 10 inches of snow
1" of rain is roughly 10" of snow, depending on conditions. So, 5" inches of rain would be 50" of snow or 4' 2".
It has 5 inches of snow
No, snow takes up more space than water. Fill a bowl with snow and when it melts it won't be full of water. It'll be semi-full of water.
It can vary a lot - a common figure would be about half an inch of rain, but you could have an inch of water with very wet snow.
It varies a lot just like it does in other places. Along the coast you might get only 4 inches of snow out of an inch of water. In many other places where it's much colder, you can easily get 20 inches out of that same inch of water.
