== Color of February precipitation box is slightly darker than it should be. ==
Throughout my time editing climate sections, I've often noticed that the color of the precipitation box for February is darker than it should be. Higher precipitation values should result in a darker color (and lower values, lighter colors), but sometimes this is not the case. For example, in [[Template:Atlanta weatherbox]], although February precipitation has a value 0.13 inches lower than March, it's lightness value is 0.02 lower than March (the color should be lighter, and should thus have a higher lightness value, but it doesn't). This is a very subtle example (other examples that may be more obvious to the naked eye elude my memory). Or maybe the other months are lighter than they should be. Either way, there's something wrong (or maybe I'm just going crazy and the colors are how they are supposed to be).
As I'm writing this, I now realize that the effect is much more obvious in the snowfall values (which I believe may be due to the fact that the metric units used for snow data in weatherboxes is often an order of magnitude greater than used for other precipitation values, e.g. cm instead of mm, and thus the effect of the error is amplified tenfold). For example, in the weatherbox for [[Great Falls, Montana]], February and March have the same value for average snowfall, but the color for the February snow cell/box is noticeably darker.
