Question

does ever snowfall produce the same ratio of snow hight to water depth?

Answer 1

Usually its 1in of snow = 10 in of rain for powdery snow. For a wet snow it can be 1in = 4in, 1in=7in. For real fine snow it can be higher than 1in=10in. the colder the temp the smaller the snow crystal. Around 32F you will have wet usually big flakes of snow that can be up to a half dollar peice. It depends on the temp and what type of snow is falling of corse you will get more accumulation with powder snow than wet snow.

Answer 2

If you're asking whether the ratio of snow depth to water content depth is ever 1:1, no, it isn't. There is always air included along with ice in snowpack so the snow always forms a greater depth than water.
