How much snow does3 mm of rain equal?

There is no direct conversion between rain and snow because the amount of snow that is produced from a given amount of rain can vary greatly depending on factors such as temperature and humidity. On average, 10 mm of rain is roughly equivalent to 1 cm of snow. So, 3 mm of rain could potentially produce around 0.3 cm of snow.


Which group of clouds produce rain?

The names of the groups of clouds that can produce rain are nimbostratus and cumulonimbus. The nimbostratus clouds are the ones we see that become very dark and produce a lot of rain or snow. The cumulonimbus clouds are responsible for lighter rain and thunderstorms.
