>> "What is the right way to record the snow as precipitation in winter?"
I don't think there is a easy way to do this. Here's a reference discussing how the US National Weather Service does it, and they do have a section on the "Water Equivalent of Snowfall", but it doesn't appear to be simple or automated: <https://www.weather.gov/gsp/snow> I don't think you can just melt the snow and measure the water it generates. I don't have Davis VP2 and they might have an innovate way to do so. I researched this a couple of years ago and came to the conclusion I's have to measure it by hand in various places and average the results. Even then, it's not simple. Things that interfere are previous snowfall underneath, how fluffy or packed it is, whether it's on grass or pavement, how much it drifted, etc.. For these reasons, I abandoned the idea of trying to report it using weewx (if weewx even supports some way of doing so.) That said, there are expert users here with much more meteorological knowledge/experience than I have who can provide a better answer.
