It varies, but a good guess might be about 2 inches.
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.
About 70 inches.
Actually the width does not matter. The answer is that the same surface area will generate the same result. So a measuring cylinder that is 2 inches wide or 10 inches will will give the same result. Ten inches of snow will melt into one inch of water.
Roughly ten. It varies a little with the type of snow.
The Teflon-coated fiberglass of the roof covers about 10 acres and weighs over 580,000 pounds according to the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission website.Snow is tough to call but a rule of thumb figure is 10 cubic inches of snow equal one cubic inch of rain. There are 6,272,640 square inches per acre. 1728 cubic inches per cubic foot. A cubic foot of pure water weighs a bit over 62.4 pounds.If there were about 10 inches of snow across the roof, then each inch of roof area would equal a cubic inch of water making 3630 cubic feet per acre weighing roughly 225,000 pounds or over 100 tons per acre.Looking at it, the dome obviously didn't get a uniform coverage of 10 inches (although I understand the Minneapolis metro area got 17" of snow) much less a uniform coverage at all and I don't know enough about how snow sticks to a Teflon dome that maintains a internal temperature of 50 degrees to say much more than that.The dome went up in Oct. of '81 and suffered snow tears in '81, '82, and '83 that I can find but I don't see any issues for the Halloween blizzard of '91 that dropped almost 28 and a half inches of snow.
6 inches would be about .6 inches of water when melted usually 1 inch of rain = 10 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.
Approximately 15 and 3/4 inches.
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.
An inch is a unit of distance, not a specific amount. Therefore, 3 inches is always equal to 3 inches.
32 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.
49 inches of snow is 4 feet 1 inch. 5 inches of very wet snow is equal to 1 inch of rain, and 15 inches of dry powder snow is equal to 1 inch of rain, so the average snowfall is equal to 10 inches equals 1 inch of rain. So 49 inches of snow would be equal to about 5 inches of rain.
12 inches of snow
It can vary widely. 1 inch of water can produce 2 inches of extremely wet snow or as much as 30 inches of fluffy dry snow. A rule of thumb (and this is a very general rule) is that 1 inch of water is in 10 inches of the average snowfall. To answer your question, it may be about 1.2 inches of rain using this formula.
The ratio of snow to water can vary a great deal depending on the vertical profiles of temperature and moisture, and how they change during a storm. Typically 1 inch of rain is equal to 1 foot of snow, a 12-1 ratio. Depending on the temperature and moisture profiles of the snow growth region of the atmosphere and the origin area of the storm system, that ratio can go higher, say 20-1, which would be 20 inches, or lower, say 6-1 or so. 12-1 is most forecasters starting point, and if you go to your local NWS page and read the area forecast discussion, they usually tell what ratio they believe a system will have as it moves through your area.
About 33.5 inches
