accumulating
Dutch translation:
neerslag (tot)
English term
accumulating
Met zinnen als:
- accumulating up to an additional 2 cm

Kan ik in weertermen niet gewoon spreken van een 'accumulatie'(als het om sneeuw of zo gaat)?
Of heeft iemand een ander idee?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Dit is een correct vertaling van de bronterm, maar ik denk dat omgooien beter is (zoals voorgesteld door Désirée)

Het ligt ook erg aan de context en je doelgroep: als het voor de doorsnee-lezer duidelijk moet zijn, zou ik het zeker weglaten en de zin omgooien. Als het voor weerlieden bestemd is, zou ik er wel een vakterm tegenaan gooien.
