This means that 6 inches of snow will fall. Since snow compacts as it sits on the ground, especially when it is deep and fine/dry (as opposed to a heavier wet snow), a 6 inch snowfall could compact to 4 or 5 inches right away.

Yes, when a weather forecast predicts 6 inches of snow, it means there will be an accumulation of 6 inches on the ground. This measurement refers to the total depth of snow that has fallen and settled.
