Short summary
A microscale, obstacle-resolving meteorological model has been extended with a snow cover and precipitation scheme making it the first model of its kind that includes rain and snow. The model allows first estimates on the influence of different city characteristics on precipitation heterogeneities. The performance of the model extension is assessed by comparing the results of different model versions. For the comparisons, threshold values were derived based on computational accuracy.
