Formula

The formula to calculate the amount of snow from rain is:

\[ \text{S} = R \times \left(5 + \frac{T}{16}\right) \]

What is Rain to Snow Conversion?

Converting rain to snow is the process of calculating the amount of snow that would fall from a given amount of rain precipitation if it was cold enough outside.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the amount of snow:

\[ \text{S} = 1 \times \left(5 + \frac{32}{16}\right) = 1 \times (5 + 2) = 7 \text{ inches} \]

This means that 1 inch of rain would be equivalent to 7 inches of snow at 32°F.
