Snowfall may not be reported correctly #33

Open hammzj opened 10 months ago

I think open-meteo has a separate variable for snowfall than precipitation. I'm noticing that the precipitation value seems way too low for when snowfall occurs in areas that (anecdotally) have received more.

I'll need to adjust for counting snowfall as well

So, there are separate variables for total precipitation vs fine-grained ones for rain, showers and snow:

I think the precipitation is largely dependent on what the weather models return, but I'll see if there's a better way of calculating this. Most of the time, the precipitation accumulation seems too low, like 0.01 to 0.02 inch, even for snowfall.
