How much does 1 gallon of leaves weigh?

You can't really say how much a gallon of snow will weigh without knowing the density of the snowfall. However, a general rule of thumb used for determining precipitation for snowfall is a ratio of 7 to 1. So, if you get seven inches of snowfall in the winter, it will be equivalent to 1 inch of rainfall. Since you can't truly determine the density based on a depth, it is probably safe to assume that the volume ratio for snow to water is also 7:1. A gallon of water weighs about 8.33 lbs, so using my logic, which is based more on rules of thumb than science, a gallon of snow will weigh 8.33/7 = 1.19 lbs. Compacted snow would obviously be much heavier though.A gallon of snow (which is mostly air around tiny ice crystals) will weigh much less than a gallon of solid ice.Fresh snow has a density of roughly 0.1 g/ml; packed snow can have a density around 0.3 g/ml; a solid block of ice has a density of about 0.92g/ml.


Where was the worlds biggest snowfall in history?

What is the record for most snow to fall in 24 hours?

The highest recorded amount of snowfall in a 24-hour period in the US occurred in 1921 in the town of Silver Lake, Colorado. 76 inches fell on April 14 and 15. A total of 87 inches fell during that storm, which only lasted about 28 hours. The US record for the highest amount of snowfall in one storm is held by the Mount Shasta Ski Bowl, at 15.75 feet (480 cm), over the course of four days in February 1959.
