Snow Recording

My Watson W-8681 isn't going to record any meaningful snow data.
I notice on the monthly reports there are fields for:
Days with snow falling
Days with snow lying
Which file do I need to edit manually to record this data?
Cheers, Tim

I've noticed as expected that the rain sensor doesn't appear to measure snow at all, unless the snow fall is thawed by the sun.
I think this could be modded to work by wrapping a heater element around the outer casing which operated with a thermostat set to perhaps +4 degrees, but whether that would be worth all the effort is debatable as we only get a few days per year of snow in East Anglia each year on average; this year is a bit of an exception.

Doh - I must have clicked on just about everything - apart from weather diary!
Don't you just hate it when you post a message, and the answer is obvious!!
Whilst a heater element is a nice idea, the quick and easy option for me is manual data recording of snow.
It's nice to have some snow in the Southeast - It's a lovely sunny day and minus 2 degrees in Windsor at the moment.
Cheers, Tim
