I noticed that accuweather measures snow differently to rain. Rain is in mm but snow is in cm - that's mildly infuriating to me.

No, as far as I know the convention is to measure by melted height. Although this may be more useful for actually understand how much snow fell. Measured by molten height, the actual snow is about ten times as deep

Edit: I could be wrong, but this is the way that Yr and SMHI measure things
