Air temperature impacts how much snow we get?

Does air temperature impact how much snow we get? Yes, it does. And the best way to figure out how much you will get is to understand how the rain to snow ratio works. Read what follows, it will make sense to you. From WFMZ.com: Snowfall amounts vary with temperature. At 32 degrees Fahrenheit the water to snow ratio is equivalent to roughly 1" of rain to 10" of snow. However, the colder the air, the higher the ratio. Therefore, at 0 degrees Fahrenheit, 1" of rain can produce as much as 40" of snow!!!! On the other hand -- from Mythbuster on nbcphiladelphia.com : "When it snows 10 inches does that actually equal one inch of rain?" I'm sure you've heard that claim. It is a commonly shared belief that seems to get regurgitated every time it pours cats and dogs or snows feet. But, is the legend true? The quick answer: sometimes. When the temperature is around 30 degrees, one inch of liquid precipitation would fall as 10 inches
