Trace (precipitation)

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

A trace accumulation of snowflakes on a car window

• ... that precipitation such as rain or snow that falls in amounts too small to be reliably measured is known as a trace?
  • ALT1:... that trace amounts of snowfall account for up to 80% of all precipitation that falls in some areas of northern Canada?

• Comment: Please offer comments on the picture; if this one is not acceptable I have some other candidates.

• Just a couple of issues:

• In "Regional differences": Anything less than these amounts is generally referred to as a trace needs a citation.
• In "Definitions": The hook fact in ALT0 needs an inline cite at the end of the sentence it appears in.
• A QPQ review should be completed.
• The image is satisfactory, but I would be interested to see the other candidates.

• Otherwise all is good. – Teratix ₵ 12:04, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

• I think I have addressed your comments, let me know if this is not satisfactory:

• Here is one potential alternate image, also showing a trace of snowfall. File:Trace_snowfall.jpg

ALT image: A trace accumulation of snow, only partially covering the ground

• I think I have addressed your comment about the first definition...I added a citation to the sentence This can be as little as just a few raindrops or snowflakes, or be enough to wet or coat the ground, but will not be enough to register via standard measurements with a rain gauge or other measuring device....the ALT0 hook is essentially a condensed version of this sentence.
• Per the "regional differences" comment, I have added references, though it seems a bit redundant since earlier sentences define the same thing with a reference.
• QPQ underway: Template:Did you know nominations/Sebkha el Melah

• All looks good now. I think the original image of the car window is the clearest, but I recommend shortening the caption (perhaps just 'A trace accumulation of snowflakes'). – Teratix ₵ 06:39, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
