[gradsusr] GFS Precipitation

[Adrian Scherzinger]

Hi

I have a question about total precipitation in GFS. I got cunfused when 
I was looking at precipitation forecast in high altitudes (Himalaya):

Does the accumulated precipitation at surface (apcpsfc) include solid 
precipitation (e.g snow, graupel)? Or do I have to include other 
parameters like Accumulated Snow to get the real total precipitation?

Any help is appreciated!

Adrian
