According to the National Weather Service: 10 inches of snow melts down to about an inch of liquid rain.
But how do I know?
Snow is something I see on Christmas cards.
I know nothing.

I looked it up on the internet.   I think they took an average. In some places the snow is different, but then I am a SO CA girl and have no idea what snow is anyway!



What was the world's largest snowman?

Take 9,000,000 pounds of snow, two 4 foot wreathes to use as eyes, 6 feet of chicken wire and muslin for the carrot nose, 6 automobile tires as the mouth, a 20 foot fleece hat, a 120 foot fleece scarf, 3 more tires for the buttons and  two 10 foot trees for the arms, assemble, and you have the world's largest snowman.
The snowman went by the name of Angus and was built in Bethel, Maine in 1999. He officially melted on June 10, 1999.

Angus was a mountain of a snowman, measuring 113 feet 7 inches tall.
