Precipitation -- when and references?

The floods obviously occured, but the references do not match the article and dates of the precip are missing.

The floods were caused by 117 mm (4.6 inches) of precipitation (including snow); the peak flow was 61.7 billion litres of water per day ...

When did 117mm of rain fall? The references disagree, with one stating (only) 1" fell on 7th March and the other that there were several days, with 1" falling on 10th March -- either way, onto frozen ground, which caused the flooding. I don't challenge these numbers or the higher volume which it is a lot but quite possible. Just suggest a fix for sources, measurements / dates -- hopefully they exist, but maybe are not digitized.
