The y-axis should represent "total snowfall."
This is the quantity being measured or calculated as a result of the snowstorm over the given time period. The rate of snowfall (in inches per hour) is the variable that changes with time and is used to calculate the total snowfall, which accumulates during the storm. Temperature is not directly relevant to the measurement of total snowfall in this context.
