Is there any way to access snowfall/accumulation with the new API?

Question

With weather underground, you could get access to snow fall/ snow depth. Can this be accessed through the "Weather Company" API?

@Enno...do you have a link to the API documentation for this? The docs I saw only reference "precipitation" which is different than snowfall. Thanks!

Chad,
I saw it for the forecasts

qpfSnow / The forecasted measurable precipitation as snow during the 12 or 24 hour forecast period. / [decimal]

I was trying to test this (since it snowed where I am overnight), and keep in mind your PWS has to actually have a value. I can't seem to find a nearby PWS that has a value for precipitation over the past 24 hours to see whether it tells me snow or water in various API values.
