How many inches of snow equals one inch of rain?
On average, thirteen inches of snow equals one inch of rain in the US, although this ratio can vary from two inches for sleet to nearly fifty inches for very dry, powdery snow under certain conditions.

So, if you have 2 feet, 2 inches of snow, you have had 2" of rain. Storms here last April dumped 12" of rain in less than a day.
