Notes

1. Snow report remarks:

          Value      Meaning
          -----      -------
            0        none
            1        Snow amount based on estimate
            2        Snowfall melted during the OBS period
            3        Snow melted as it landed
   

2. Some (but not all) mesonets contain data from a number of smaller networks. In these cases, the "subprovider" for each station is the name of the smaller network. If this variable is all blank, then there isn't a subprovider associated with the station.
