A common rule of thumb equates 10 centimetres of fresh snow to approximately

  • A.0.1 centimetres of water
  • B.100 centimetres of water
  • C.1 centimetre of water
  • D.10 centimetres of water

Answer: C

The ten to one ratio corresponds to a snow density near a tenth that of water. Actual ratios range from about five to one for wet snow to twenty to one for very dry snow. Temperature during the fall is the main control on density.
