, but we'll be getting 80mm of rain. If it were snow, that would be 8feet of snow in one day.

Not sure where you heard that but 80mm of rain is about 2.6 feet of snow.

8 feet of snow would be about 245 millimeters of rain.

It doesn't really work that way. The volume of snow produced by 80mm worth of water would be much higher than 2.6 feet.
The most common conversion used is that 10 inches of snow will melt to one inch of water. That is a very rough approximation, however.

Thats what I used to figure it out. The 8 feet thing seem waaaay off to me. [/b][/quote]
I suck at metric, my brain thought 80mm was 0.8m for a second

On second thought your numbers look great
