“…By contrast, snowfall estimates from ERA5 reanalysis for both events are severely underestimated (by 3–4 times) compared to the measurements. Outputs from the RCMs also show that the ARs may be associated with several millimetres of rain in both the summer and winter cases, although in the absence of in situ measurements of rainfall, this result cannot be directly verified. …”
