Hi guys,

you do not make a difference at your units control between rain and snow!

"mm" for rain make's a sence, but would it not be better to indicate the snow value in "cm", due to my origin value from Cumulus for snow is in "cm".

I would prefer using different units for snow and rain!

Thanks for Your efforts in advance!

I have found now a half-solution for the problem:

When replacing the unit "<#rainunit>" by "cm" in the yowindow.txt-file the result will give a correct value for the snowdepth!
The value for the depth of snow will be in fact still in "mm" but the value is now correct.
For example 10 cm depth of snow in Cumulus are now shown as 100 mm!
