1985 - It is believed that a significant portion of the snowfall, possibly around 5 cm, actually melted on contact on April 25 given little to no increase in snow depth, along with mild temperatures and dewpoints above freezing during the day. The assumption of a 10:1 ratio for snowfall appears very suspect as a result. In reality, spring 1985 likely only saw about 6-7 cm or so of snow rather than 11.6 cm.
2023 - Due to undercatch of snow at the Airport, The Forks was used as replacement for precipitation on March 11 and April 4 and 5. Weatherlogics was used as replacement on April 20 and 21, because it was more repesentative of the weather at the Airport. There was a heavier band of snow that affected The Forks but not the Airport and Weatherlogics sites on the 20th, so Weatherlogics was a better fit. These changes raised the spring precip from 37.3 mm to 43.0 mm.
