Ice and rain should be pretty close to the same. While their densities are different, they're not THAT different. So, and inch of ice would be about equal to an inch of rain.

Slightly less than one inch of rain will make one inch of ice. Water in liquid form is somewhat unique in that it expands when frozen, unlike other liquids which shrink.

Ice is about 9% less dense than water.
So ice would be about 9% larger than the same mass of water.
So an inch of water would be about 1.09 inches of ice.
