Depends on a few things, but the general rule of thumb would be around 12 feet of snow. And no, don't go saying "if only all this rain would have been snow we would have had 12 feet!" Wouldn't have happened...for a lot of reasons. The most important being that air at 75 degrees can hold A LOT more water than air at freezing or lower. This was a tropical system streaming in deep moisture from the tropics and the mechanisms are generally quite different from those that drive cold season storms deriving energy from baroclinic zones and upper level dynamics in the vicinity of the jet stream.
