[wxqc] Problem with monthly total rainfall on WU

[Erik Proseus]

  Hello Rich,

Not sure if the rainfall amounts are correct, but on your Weather
Underground page, if you look at the monthly view for May
(http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KCOCOLOR78&day=1&year=2007&month=5&graphspan=month)
there was more than 3" of rain reported each day on the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and
6th.  This is where it is getting it's 16"+ of rain for the month.  I'm
not sure that you can change what is reported on Weather Underground for
previous days, if it is wrong.  You might check those days at the
beginning of the month on your software and Weather Underground and see
which is correct.

Regards,
--Erik

  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?
