How much water does one inch of snow make / as rain?
Snow Hydrology has many variables When figuring out water content of snow it is all based on the snow it’s self I personaly have seen 1″ of snow carrry any where from .01 inches to .30 inches snow has varring amounts of water in it. There are three sites for Sno Hydrology here to look at http://snobear.colorado.edu/Markw/SnowHy… http://www.nohrsc.nws.gov/index.html http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ussc/USSCAppCon… and check out this site aswell http://www.cocorahs.org/ go to training slide show starting on page Page 55 this will show you how the water content is figured.
