+!-- This following warning message prints too often and is being commented out by
+!-- Anders Jensen on 30 Jan 2024. I think that this warning message prints only when 
+!-- graupel alone is reaching the surface. Total precipitation is interpolated 
+!-- and precipitation from individual hydrometeor categories is not. Thus, when 
+!-- total precipitation equals graupel precipitation and total precipitation is 
+!-- interpolated and graupel precipitation is not, the two values may not be equal.
