1" rain = 1' snow. Therefore you would have 10 feet of snow.

on average 1 foot of snow = one inch of rain. so itll be 10 feet.
though it can differ because of the moisture in the storm system. if there is more moisture, itll take less than 12 inches of snow to equal an inch of rain. if theres less moisture itll take more than 12 inches of snow to equal an inch of rain.

10" it doesn't matter what the area is, it is 10" over that area (from this Sunday's Parade Magazine). What matters is the area total area over which it occurred.
There are several types of snow, I don't know if you can convert snow directly to rain, but if you let it melt normally, in the cold weather then the number of inches of water in the gauge will be extremely close to the actual water fall. With cold temperatures there won't be much evaporation.
The water has to melt (from its solid; snow) before it can evaporate.
