Too Cold For Rain

Post by Ken22 »

If it is 12 degrees F outside, why does the forecast show "Rain" and not "Snow"?

I have NEVER seen rain below 20F.

The Cumulus forecast doesn't use the word 'rain', so you are presumably using the forecast from the station. The WMR968 station has no forecast for 'snow', only for 'rain'. Your console is presumably showing the same (the 'rain' icon)?

The BT Global Sager Weathercaster script for Cumulus does NOW have "Snow" in its forecast text.

Yes, my console is showing the "Rain" icon. I was hoping that there would be some simple setting of saying if the temp is below x, then change rain to snow. I know that this would not be accurate, so I will try the Sager script listed above and see if I can get it to work.

Thanks for all the info.
