The original intention was that it only overwrote your custom setting when
METAR reports snow at a lower altitude than that set by the user. So if you've
set it to 3000m, but a station at 1500m reports snow, the snow level moves down
to 1500m. You can then lower it even further, let's say to 1000m. As the
station altitude is now above the snow line, it will stay at 1000m. Apparently
this part was broken, as it was set back to 1500m after releasing the mouse.
I just commited a fix to Git (at least it works as I intended it to work now),
please check if that works for you.
If the METAR reports no snow, nothing happens. Right now it only checks for the
nearest METAR station, but one could think of extending that to all the METARS
that are available in the property tree...
Cheers,
Gijs
