8% is low but probably due to better flavor. I buy beer that is more than that.

Here’s the right question:
Scenario A: It snows 4 hours in Raleigh from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM on December 21 at a rate of 1”/hr, with a ground temp of 45F and an air temp of 30F.
Scenario B: It snows 4 hours in Raleigh from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM on June 21 at a rate of 1”/hr, with a ground temp of 45F and an air temp of 30F.
At 3:01 PM, under which scenario will the snow depth be the greatest?
Bonus question: Under which scenario will the snow melt the fastest, assuming constant air and ground temperatures and complete and equal cloud cover until 100% snow melt?

1. Simple. They are the same.
Bonus - June because this is the only aspect that sun angle actually has on snow is melt rate due to having more time above the horizon.
I can’t even get my pine needles covered smh

Earth is farthest from the sun July 6th, always wanted to see that effect on snow.

Air temp probably means the most of everything, last January I probably had about an hour and a half to two hours of moderate snow with I think what would've been enough for a half inch of snow, but I was above freezing. So none of it stuck. The last time snow actually stuck on the ground at this house was back in 2016 and it was with not too much precip and it had rained beforehand. It simply was snowing with it mostly at 30-32 degrees. It did snow for longer though.
Can't lie, it was sneakily pretty even though it was not major accumulation. I stopped to look out in the backyard for a few minutes due to that.

This at least for me gets an A+ for picture, although now that I'm looking at it, I wish I could take another picture that's at least 3-4" inches of snow that is a similar shot! It was 3 years ago now.
June. Because the rate of 1" an hour will accumulate 8" and then you will wake up.
In December, you cant even get a -NAO in your dreams thus you get a warm nose 6" above the ground.
Let me guess, last January
All I got to say is that was a good a$$ storm, all snow, 6-8 inches of mostly powder
B melts the fastest, more insolation from the sun.
