Is frost rainfall?

Down here in the antipodes we're having frosts just about every morning now and my rain gauge (Fine Offset) registers 0.3 mm as the frost on the gauge thaws.
Should this be classified as rainfall or not?
Argument for: well it's water vapour that has condensed, then frozen, then thawed so it is rainfall.
Argument against: rainfall is precipitation from clouds
What do you think?
