This past Sunday and Monday we had
a nor'easter storm dump heavy amounts of rain and snow along the east
coast of the United States. Rochester had one and a half inches
of rain and 4 inches of snow depending on where you are in the
area. 10 inches of snow makes one inch
of water. If the temperature was colder and we had all snow and
no rain, how much snow would we have?

By the way, Casa Larga had 9 inches of snow reported because of its higher elevation.
