POLL: if you have 6 inches of snow and it melts do you get 6 inches of water from the snow melting ?

Roughly 1/10 of inch water per inch of snow.

Nope. It melts slowly. Some of it seeps into the ground, some of it forms small puddles, and some of it evaporates.

6 inches of snow is nothing. It's not enough to cause flooding. You'd really only get flooding from a few feet of snow. It's usually caused by clogged storm drains and such.

I don't think so. Snow is not very danse and water expands when it turns into ice.

i think the water amount would be somewhat less due to the way snow flakes are shaped they stack up higher. i don't really know how to explain this but since snow is a solid it can stack. i dunno but i think it would be less

there would be less because the sun would cause it to evaporate or get soaked into the ground

you will get an inch at best - snow is fluffy

Much less because the ground soaks up so much.

All that ice turns into mercury or jellybeans, depending on the hemisphere.

no cause snow is more dense then water.
