    Is "Rain accumulation" only rainfall or does it include snow?

      Hi there!

      Does the "Rain accumulation" visual only display forecast rainfall, or are snow totals included in the mm quoted as well?

      This question was asked before but there wasn't an answer :(

      Thanks!

        The answer is in a post by @Gkikas-LGPZ in the thread you refer. You haven't read it?
        Windy is using this parameter
        You can compare at the moment the Snow accumulation over the Antarctica peninsula with the Rain accumulation knowing that 1cm of snow is about 1mm of rain.

        Rain accumulation should be called Precipitation accumulation as ECMWF do.
