depends on the size of the snowflake....used to say that an inch of rain will make a foot of snow, but in reality there is "wet snow" and Fluffy snow......if rain freezes on contact with ground, there would be just a bit more than 2 inches of ice as the process of freezing causes expansion....

On average, one inch of rain equals ten inches of snow. This can vary by the moisture content of the snow. For example, heavy snow is saturated with moisture and light snow is much drier.
Not to confuse you heavy snow can also mean that the snow is falling at a fast rate, which actually is not overally saturated.

The general rule of thumb is 11 inches of snow would melt and form 1 inch of water. So 22 inches of snow.

A inch of snow generally equates to about a tenth of an inch of rain, so two inches of RAIN would be equivalent to about 20 inches of snow.

generally speaking--
1" of rain is approx. 11" of snow.
The inuit have 13 words for snow.
So
You might only have 6"of snow per inch of rain depending on what variety of moisture content of the snow that fell.
good question.
