Snow is not uniform for density so you would have to weigh the cubic foot you are interested in.
Each pound or kilogram would be composed of 1/9 hydrogen and 8/9 oxygen (by mass) since the molecular weight of water is 18, the atomic weight of hydrogen is 1 and the atomic weight of oxygen is 16. Based on 1 cubic foot of snow being about 10% the weight of a cubic foot of water, it would weigh approximately 6.25 pounds and contain about 5.56 pounds of oxygen.

How much to pay for snow cleaning?
It cost me $12.62 per cubic foot removed
How much does a inch snow weigh?
It depends on how much you have!! One shovelful of snow, for example, weighs less than the amount of snow on your driveway. I suspect what you are really asking is not how much snow weighs but how much it weighs per cubit foot or cubic yard. Weight per unit volume is called density. But even that is tricky with respect to snow. The density of snow varies greatly. Lightly packed powder weighs very little per cubic foot, whereas slushy, wet snow can weigh over 62 pounds per cubic foot -- about the density of water.

How much snow you are getting in the Bronx today?
The Bronx is under a blizzard warning for about a foot of snow through tonight, with that snow blowing around a lot in the strong wind.
How much snow do you get if it snows for 5 hours?
You could get almost nothing or over a foot - depends how hard it's snowing.

How much water is in one cubic foot of snow?
18 cups, 4.5 quarts. A good average to figuring out snow to water ratio is 12-1. So there 1/12 of a cubic foot of snow will be the volume of water. An ounce is 1 inch sq. 12x12 is 144 cubic inches of water. 144 divided by 8 ounces to a cup is 18 cups. There fore 4.5 quarts.
If you have a 1500 sq ft home and there is 1 ft of snow on the roof how much weight is on the roof?
You need to know how much a cubic foot of snow weighs. It depends on the sort of snow. There is 1500 cu ft of snow on the roof.

How much does one square foot of water weigh?
A square foot of snow does not have a weight: the depth of the snow is needed to give the weight because weight relates to the volume of snow. Even if you know the depth of the snow, say a foot, giving a cubic foot of snow, there is a wide range of possible weights because snow can vary in density depending on whether it is lightly or densely packed.The range of density of snow compared to the density of water can vary from 100:1 (for snow that is 100 times less dense or heavy than the equivalent volume of water) to 3:1.A more common density might be around 12:1.Water has a mass of 1kg/L so for a cubic metre (1000L) of snow, the mass could be anything in the range of 10kg to 333kg.Keeping that in mind, a foot of snow would be about 6.75lb to 223.82lb.The weight of snow can not be answered based on an area of a square foot of snow: the volume is required. It also depends on the kind of snow it is. Example- packing snow will have a different weight (because of its density) than other kinds of snow.A square foot is a measure of area, not volume. So the answer depends on two things. One is the depth, which will give us the volume, and the other is the density of the snow, which tells us how much weight there is per volume. Unpacked, fresh fallen snow can have a density roughly of only 5% of water. That will not have much depth, however. As snow packs it can get to 30% of the density of water, so a square foot of snow one foot deep (a cubic foot) might weigh roughly twenty pounds. With more packing and passage of time this might go up to thirty pounds per cubic foot. Finally, the snow can be compressed to become ice (with a lot of air inclusions), and this might be as more than fifty pounds per cubic foot.
How many gallons of water is in one cubic foot of compacted snow?
If it's heavily compacted snow, then one cubic foot weighs in at about 25 lbs. At 8 lbs to the quart, you are looking at less than a gallon of water. Closer to 3 quarts of water.
What is the weight of one cubic foot of snow?
It depends on what the soil contains. It may contain sand or gravel. It may contain water. It may contain little or much organic material. It may be highly or loosely compacted. On the average, however, the density of ideal topsoil is about 1.25 grams per cubic centimeter, or about 78 pounds per cubic foot.
How much nitrogen is in a cubic foot of snow?
That's going to depend on the density, i.e. the water content of the snow. Themore dense snow will have less nitrogen, since there's no nitrogen in water at all,only in the air, of which there's more in fluffy snow than in the heavier kind.
How much snow is needed to build a thirty six foot snowman?
1,000,000,000kg of snow
How much does a cubic foot of snow weigh melted?
Melted snow is water. Water, because it is a liquid, is hard to weigh as you normally only weigh solids. Liquids would have to be measured litres or gallons. So the answer to that question would depend on how much snow had actually melted- eg. 12% ice and 78 % is water and 10% is debris caught in the snow as it fell
