No, Groundwater makes up about twenty percent of the world's fresh water supply, which is roughly equal to the total amount of freshwater stored in the snow and ice pack, including the north and south poles.
Generally, about 10 inches of snow is equivalent to 1 inch of water. However, this ratio can vary based on factors such as the density and moisture content of the snow. For example, wet, heavy snow may be closer to 5 inches of snow per inch of water, while light, fluffy snow might require 15 inches or more.
The type of precipitation that occurs when 6 inches of snow (moist) or 30 inches of snow (dry) is equivalent to 1 inch of rain is considered the snow-water equivalent. This measurement helps in determining the amount of liquid water that would result if the snow melted completely.
Snow is comprised of only water and a tiny amount of inorganic particulate matter. It is not an organism.

On average, 1 inch of snow is equivalent to about 0.1 inches of water. Therefore, 24 inches of snow would be roughly equal to 2.4 inches of water. This ratio can vary depending on factors such as temperature and snow density.
Lake effect snow: water from Lake Erie picks up water and holds that moisture, releasing it in the form of snow downwind of the lake.
soft snow because it releases more water when heated
salt water
No, snow typically reflects more light than water due to its higher albedo, or reflectivity. This is why snow appears bright white, while water absorbs more light and appears darker.
A bucket of water is heavier than a bucket of snow when both are of the same size. This is because water is denser than snow; snow contains a significant amount of air, which makes it lighter. Thus, even a full bucket of snow will weigh less than a full bucket of water.
