To stay out of trouble on this one, we’re gonna let NOAA do the talking:
“Precipitation is coming Wednesday…and Thursday-Friday…and the weekend…and…well, you get the point. Northern California will be soggy the next several days, and in particular its mountains, where 5 to 10 inches of rain (or liquid equivalent snow) could fall over the next week!” – NOAA Sacramento, CA today
5-10 of liquid equivalent snow would equal 5-10 feet of snow…
The important point here is that California is much needed getting moisture. Valley rain/mountain snow. I am very thankful for any & all rain/snow that we get.
The rule of thumb is 1″ of rain equals 10″ of snow……give or take with temps.
Aaas
Nothing but hype, Thanks again for the click-bat Hype Brains!
Yea they said 5 to 10 liquid equivilent of snow is 5 to 10 of snow.. Not right… Bullshitting, its the same as saying 1 cup of rice is the same as 1 cup of rice with out cooking or water.

1 inch of rain in the Sacramento Valley Will result in 1 foot of snow in the Sierras Without fail
Nope. The standard is one inch rain equates to 10 inches of snow. I love in the Sierra so, been there, lived that…
It does
Good thinking Bat Man!
