That is the term to apply to the snow we just received. A typical snow ratio is 10-12 inches of snow for each inch of water (rain). The fluffy stuff can have ratios of 20 to 1. Lake effect can be 40 to 1 or higher.
The heavy wet snow we received has ratios of 2-4 to 1. Some people call this Greasy Snow. It can also be called Heart Attack Snow.
Imagine if we had fluffy snow overnight. A foot or more would have been on the ground today.
