Why does 1 inch of rain equal 10 inches of snow?

Is this conversion even right? I found it on google with little explanation. One inch of rain seems minuscule to 10 inches of snow but maybe I have a fundamental misunderstanding of how much one inch of rain actually is. Please help.

Like letting a full glass of crushed ice melt. The water you’re left with after won’t be as high as the ice.
