PRCP vs SNOW data? #18

I've been prototyping an app that needs historical rain data, and since there's no column specifically for rain, I was hoping to use the snow column to at least exclude that from total precipitation. But in my testing snow data is never returned. Am I doing something wrong or is that data not ready?

Sample request:
https://meteostat.p.rapidapi.com/stations/monthly?station=72509&start=2018-01-01&end=2023-12-31&tz=Europe%2FBerlin

Sample response:
{"date"=>"2018-01-01", "tavg"=>-1.8, "tmin"=>-5.9, "tmax"=>2.2, "prcp"=>124.9, "wspd"=>21.5, "pres"=>nil, "tsun"=>nil}

Hi @petealbertson, I can't tell whether it's generally not available for this weather station. But I know for a fact that the completeness of snow data is mediocre. However, it wouldn't help you in this case as snow actually refers to the snow depth, not the amount of snowfall in a certain period of time.
