Grid-to-grid Model mixing ratio’s (RWMR[T>0]/SNMR) vs. MRMS ptype (rain/snow/none) Evaluation regarding how well each model explicit mixing ratios (>0 – could be very small) compared to the precipitation type information in the MRMS dataset (e.g., how well do the models discriminate precipitation type of rain or snow?) Broken down by 00 and 12 UTC initializations CONUS, CONUS-East, CONUS-West
