Rain to Snow Calculator

Input any two values (Rain, Temperature, or Snow) to calculate the third parameter. This tool uses temperature and rain-to-snow ratios to compute conversions.

The Rain to Snow Calculator helps estimate the amount of snow equivalent to a given rainfall, considering the temperature. This tool is useful for weather prediction, snow plowing estimates, and planning outdoor activities during winter. It calculates the snow depth using the rain-to-snow conversion formula, factoring in the temperature for accurate results.

Formula

• Snow (in):

  $$\text{Snow} = \text{Rain} \times (5 + \frac{\text{Temperature (°F)}}{16})$$

• Rain (in):

  $$\text{Rain} = \frac{\text{Snow}}{5 + \frac{\text{Temperature (°F)}}{16}}$$

• Temperature (°F):

  $$\text{Temperature} = (\frac{\text{Snow}}{\text{Rain}} – 5) \times 16$$

Solved Calculations

Example 1:
Convert Rain to Snow:

• Rain = 1 in
• Temperature = 30°F

Example 2:
Convert Snow to Rain:

• Snow = 6 in
• Temperature = 32°F
