In weight, yes, of course. In volume, no. The pound of snow would have greater volume than the pound of water.



It depends. If you measure the snow in the regular way, then yes. However, snow contains air, which has mass. If you include that mass in calculating the snow's weight, then the snow will have a smaller amount of water than the pound of water, because some of the snow's weight will be air weight.

However, air is effectively weightless (though not massless) in the atmosphere, because it's surrounded by itself and thereby buoyed so that it will not affect a normal weight scale unless it is compressed beyond the amount which the surrounding atmosphere is compressed.



Ya, just like 1 pound of rocks is equal to 1 pound of feathers. 1 pound of fat equals 1 pound of muscle. 1 lb = 1 lb



A pound is a pound, no matter the composition. A ton of feathers is still a ton.



Yes, always. Please note that a "pound", unlike an "ounce" is never a unit of volume.



As far as weight yes, but once it melts it will not be an equal amount of water.



No --- the pound of snow has more volume.



yes of course. they both weigh one pound
