It's not impossible but the "integration" will not be so simple as just adding some lines of code to the WeatherDuino code.
I supposed the "snow sensor" should be a wireless unit, so the first step would be using a dedicated TX unit, and find a way (modifyng the software) to send the data from the "snow sensor" as it as data from a "Temp/Hum" sensor, then in the RX software will be possible mapping those data to an Extra Sensor.
Only two fields of data would be sent, one will be presente in the Temperature data field the other on the Humidity data field.
Remember, the weatherduino uses the Davis data structure.
This solution is similar to what we did with the Air Quality Monitor, which is mapped to Davis extra sensors 6 and 7.
I'm not seeing another way of doing it, without breaking the code and compromise future software upgrades.
