90: Snow_Precip, Site tower, Fri 27-Dec-2002 16:51:36 MST, no rain tips from Nov 20 to Dec 16
There were no rain tips between Nov 20 and Dec 16, even during
the snowstorm of Nov 23/24.  

There is data from the grass logger over this time.
Rnet is the next field after rainr, and we have complete Rnet coverage.

After Dec 16, sporatic tips are seen - which looks reasonable -
showing an accumulation of 5.3 mm between Dec 16 and Dec 25.


I re-ran covar, with rainr by itself in a covar group, so it does not
appear to be a software issue.




76: Snow_Precip, Site all stns, Tue 17-Dec-2002 17:36:16 MST, snowing today
About 2 today, it started snowing.  I would guess that we got at least 5cm by 
5pm.

Snow depth gauge is  1.75 m above the grass, which agrees with
the sensor output.
