[wxqc] Problem with monthly total rainfall on WU

I'm a bit confused, nothing abnormal for a newbie.

My station is a LaCrosse 2310, uses Heavy weather to talk to the 
computer, uses VWS for display and upload to wunderground personal 
weather stations.

OK...... here's the problem:  The monthly total rainfall in HW and VWS 
shows as 6.7 some inches of rain, which is correct. Once the data is 
sent upstream to wunderground it gets set to 16. some inches of total 
rain for the month.

I've noodled around with the history file of HW and can't see anything 
wrong which leads me to believe that VWS might be the problem. BUT... 
since the display on the computer reads correctly I don't think that 
there is anything wrong with the VWS database. I might be wrong tho.

So just off the cuff I'm thinking that somehow weather underground is 
either multiplying my total somehow, or somewhere along the line the 
data being sent to WU isn't the database that I think it is.

Any ideas what or where the problem might be?
