We learned in science class one inch of rain equals ten inches of snow, so the answer would be 1/10 of an inch.

About 1/10th of an inch. The accepted standard is that 1 inch of rain equals about 10 inches of snow. It really depends upon temperature and other conditions. One inch of rain could equal as much as twenty inches of snow under optimal conditions.

About 1/12th. So 1 inch of rain is a foot of snow.

it depends....in the midwest and east one inche of rain may equal 1 foot of snow. Here in the west, one inch of rain may equal two feet of snow. It all depends on how much moisture is in the snow. Snow in the western US tends to be drier then snow in the east. The further the snow falls from the Pacific Ocean here in the west, the drier it is. California snow is heavier by weight then Utah or Colorado snow. Utah and Colorado snow is often called "champange snow" because it is very lite and fluffy.
