Sam1647545489 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Nice I understand it now. Typically out of a 1/4 inch of precip, what does that equate to snow wise? I know an inch of rain usually equals about 10 inches of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know an inch of rain usually equals about 10 inches of snow. lol, so 1/4" of rain would be 2.5" of snow, or 1/4 of 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 in a case like that a 1/4" of rain would be more than 2.5" because of temperatures. the lower the temps the fluffier the snow is and the more it adds up. theres a formula floating aroound out there that tells you snow ratios. image below is Celcius http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJZ5ArmANJQ/TRPKWIgi5JI/AAAAAAAABbo/wWvJWqSV8xE/s1600/snowratio.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 the image above is simply 6 hour precipitation forecast. its for reb 10th at 6am. the greens and blues are precipitation. the blue line is the freezing line. the black squiggly lines are isobars, they indicate pressure differences and often give a good indicator of wind. where the black lines are close together is wind.
