Up to Fourteen Eighteen Twenty Inches of Partly Cloudy

I'm very relieved that I planned to go to New York City to take in some Christmas sights this year.  However, it has been canceled because there's a major snowstorm coming.

An old fashioned 'Nor-easter is bearing down on us as I write this and we're expecting up to a twenty inches of powdery white stuff called snow. I may not get out and shovel until Sunday (12/20) after watching football all weekend.  Remember, one inch of rain is equal to ten inches of snow, so we are looking at 200 inches of rain.  Noah, get me the ark prepared.

    It's the other way around. 1 inch of rain is equal to 10 inches of snow.

    If such a storm could produce 200 inches of rain (and remember, we get Nor'easters that come down as just rain), then we would not be alive on this planet. Heck, Hurricane Katrina at its worst left 20 inches in the lowest parts of Louisiana.
