Missing data may cause apparent discrepancies between the daily extreme, monthly total, and seasonal total snowfall values. The monthly and seasonal totals were based on complete data; if any days were missing, then the monthly or seasonal total could not be computed for that year. Daily snowfall extremes were not as susceptible to missing data. Consequently, it may be possible for a 1-day extreme to be greater than a multiple-day extreme, a daily extreme to be greater than a monthly total, and a monthly total to be greater than a seasonal total. Checking the "number of years with non-missing data" parameter is an important part of using this snow climatology.
