Plot Description:

This chart displays the combination of liquid precipitation with snowfall totals for a given month. The liquid totals include the melted snow. So this plot does not show the combination of non-frozen vs frozen precipitation. For a given winter month, not all precipitation falls as snow, so you can not assume that the liquid equivalent did not include some liquid rainfall.
