My understanding is snowfall accumulation is extremely difficult to predict.
People always get mad at snowfall amounts compared to what is forecasted. If you look at a post storm snowfall map compared to a total rainfall map when it’s not cold you’ll see the same pattern. Bottom line, it’s very random. You’ll have pockets of heavier precip and then a few miles away it’s completely different.

1” of rain = 10” of snow roughly? Makes you realize how little moisture really comes down when it snows on the south

Yes it’s roughly 10:1

Here’s an example of a rainfall summary and a snowfall summary. Lots of variability but no one notices it with rainfall because what fun is that?

Depends on temps. At 30°F 1" of precip will be roughly 10" of snow. At 20°F 1" of precip will create closer to 20" of snow. At 10°F it will be more like 30-1.

We skied yesterday in 8" of 0° powder and cut right through it. 8" of 30° powder will float my fat åss like I'm full of helium.

Hah..But is it really powder at 30°?
8inches of blower pow is basically worthless. You’re skiing on the mank underneath which can suck if it was ballistic plating prior..now if was 8” blower on top of good snow that’s pleasant.

Yep! Looks like it's about 8 inches (shrinkage and all)**

Breadless in Grenada.
We got rabbis in Gunader? Wow! I'm down there about 40% of the time. Stuck in Huntsville wanting to retire the rest of the time. Ran off & left the wifey yesterday before it got bad. She's got plenty of food, guns, & firewood, so she should be able to handle it.
