Typically, 6+ inches (15cm) is the threshold for many schools, but this varies by region. In warmer areas, even 1 inch can cause closures due to lack of removal equipment.
The average ratio is 10:1 (10 inches of snow = 1 inch of water). However, 'Champagne Powder' often has a 15:1 or 20:1 ratio (fluffy), while heavy wet snow might be 5:1.
Snow forms when the atmospheric temperature is at or below freezing (0°C / 32°F). However, snow can reach the ground when surface temps are up to 3-4°C if the air aloft is cold enough.
A Watch means hazardous weather is *possible* within the next 48 hours. A Warning means heavy snow or ice is *occurring or imminent*. Take action immediately if a warning is issued.
Accumulation is *new* snow falling. Snow Depth is the total existing snow on the ground. Melting, compaction, and wind can make the depth lower than the sum of recent snowfall.
