I really do not see how you can 'convert' snowfall to rainfall - surely they are different things. Thomas's heated rain gauge does indeed sound like a slightly better way to go.
You could always add a 'ConvertedSnow' column to the database, put your converted snow value into a txt file and have a service to read the file and put the data into the database for you (and delete the file once it has been processed). This way you would have real rainfall kept separately to the convertedsnow value within the database. See the customisation documentation for adding columns and services.
