CM for snow instead of MM about oss-weather HOT 12 CLOSED

Thank you :), I searched a bit for snowy places and found these:

Aomori (JP), Sapporo (JP), Toyama (JP), St. John's Newfoundland (CA), also St. Moritz (CH).

Some have rain coming but hopefully the timing is just right when you have a chance to look at it :P

@0-5-0 great idea. Not much snow this days so never really saw that :P will try to find a place to test it with

@0-5-0 it is now fixed in the new version on github

from oss-weather.

I noticed using St. John's Newfoundland as a test, when it's mixed precipitation rain and snow on the same day there's only one icon showing up in the list at the bottom, not one for rain and a second for snow so I think it's adding the mm of rain + cm of snow strangely.

It's showing 19.3mm 100% with the snow icon for St. John's today but looking at the hourly there's a mix of both rain and snow. Not sure if a separate icon for rain and snow would have to be added down in the list?

GFS Global is what I used to test.

@0-5-0 yes i use only one data. I show the total precipitation (snow+rain). as for the icon it chooses snow if there is some.
Not sure i want to add 2 icons. Uses a lot of space and not add that much. You ll get the details in the hourly view

from oss-weather.

Unless one mixed precipitation icon would do in that case?

from oss-weather.

you mean having an icon representing precipitation and snow at the same time ?

from oss-weather.

Exactly, for days where it's forecasting both rain and snow with a small snow flake and small rain drop maybe in the same icon.

@0-5-0 ok that i can do. i ll see if i find the right icon

from oss-weather.

I tried to find "something" icon wise, just looking for an icon that might show a large snowflake with a large rain drop separated by / ... aside from that I think "sleet" might be a common term but it's always paired with a cloud so might not fit the design.

I found these interesting general icon sets.

@0-5-0 awesome ! really like the animated weather icons. Might try to add that to the app!
i actually created a new icon. Just need to implement it now

The one you made looks perfect, simple and very clear :)
