Daily snowfall and temperature

Snowfall is the mid-mountain amount in inches, the same figure and unit as the snow API and the English resort page. Centimeters use that page's cm conversion. High and low are summit temperatures in °F from days.hi and days.lo. The resort table shows these same numbers in its temperature column. Celsius uses that page's °F to °C conversion. A daily snowfall of 0 in is the published value: amounts under 0.5 in are stored as 0 and are not a missing field.
