=Snow, Sleet and Hail=
Although this article is headed rain measurement, there are other forms of precipitation.
Sleet and hail will normally melt into water that can be counted by a rain gauge, although wind effects are perhaps more likely to distort measurements.
[[Snow]] is a bit different as the timing of arrival and melting can be separated by several days.
