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.
Roughly ten. It varies a little with the type of snow.
In 2010, Minneapolis MN received a total of 67.3 inches of snow.
it has 5 inches of snow
The snow that collapsed the Metrodome in Minneapolis in 2010 weighed approximately 17-20 pounds per square foot. The total weight of snow on the roof was around 17 inches of snow, resulting in an estimated 700,000 pounds of weight that caused the collapse.
40 centimeters of snow is approximately 15.75 inches.
For every inch of snow, it roughly equates to about 1/10th of an inch of water once melted. Therefore, if there were 6 inches of snow, it would result in approximately 0.6 inches of water once melted.
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.
On average, 10 inches of snow is equal to 1 inch of rain, but this ratio can vary based on factors like snow density and temperature. Therefore, 5 inches of snow would typically be equivalent to around 0.5 inches of rain.
The type of precipitation that occurs when 6 inches of snow (moist) or 30 inches of snow (dry) is equivalent to 1 inch of rain is considered the snow-water equivalent. This measurement helps in determining the amount of liquid water that would result if the snow melted completely.
The general rule of thumb is that 1 inch of rain is approximately equivalent to 10 inches of snow. Therefore, 5 inches of rain would equal approximately 50 inches of snow.
An inch is a unit of distance, not a specific amount. Therefore, 3 inches is always equal to 3 inches.
The fluffiness of the snow can vary how deep it is compared to an inch of rain. On average, however, ten inches of snow is an inch of rain, so .04 inches of rain is similar to .4 inches of snow.
On average, 1 foot of snow contains about 1 inch of water equivalent. This ratio can vary depending on the type of snow and weather conditions, but is a common approximation used for estimating water content in 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.
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.
