Subject:
AWR/LDIS/MET/S1 - Precipitation Measurements Suspect
DataStreams:awrpars2S1.b1
Description:
Analysis of the PARS2 and the PWD precipitation data indicate that the results are 
suspect, possibly due to frost/blowing snow.  Both instruments reported precipitation for a 
majority of the days.

The TSI movies were reviewed and the days of noticeable precipitation are:

12/26/15
12/31/15 - Potentially just frost buildup
1/6/16
1/11/16
1/12/16
1/13/16
