Hmmm it's interesting that I had more rainfall in a day than Moulton Seasend had in a whole month! Very dry in the east. Hi, Will, Not sure just how much notice to take of many of January's precipitation totals. There was a lot of dry, powdery snow blowing about, especially in the east, with consequent sublimation and drifting. It will take some quality control by the Met O before anything is decided I expect. Example here, Vantage ProAWS, untouched, 63.0mm, MetO gauge melted only at 09Z, no other times, each day 80.8mm, a 30% difference. I'll be interested to see what the Copley logger Environment Agency gauge (AWS) measured. I think my rainfall total would have been higher still if I had melted the contents of the funnel more often the once/day. Raw AWS figures only with no manual backup would be very suspect imho. during a snowy month, hence the need for careful quality control. Or am I teaching grandmother with the eggs again!! Best wishes, Ken |

My AWS figure was corrected for the snowy spell using totals from my snowdon - bringing the funnel inside every morning at 9am and letting the snow melt in to the bottle before measuring - a real painstaking experience. The total for the snow that fell on Sunday 20th was 9mm - consistent with the depth of 9cm (using the 1mm=1cm rule). it's fairly consistent with other totals close by - so I'm reasonably confident on accuracy

Best wishes, Ken Indeed, Ken, there was a great deal of very dry powdery snow drifting quite badly. On a few days the funnels of both my 5" and AWS gauges were largely blown clear of snow so they didn't come close to capturing what fell. If they had captured everything, how much would have been precipitation and how much would have been blowing snow? It's anyone's guess. There was no level depth of snow from which to try to take a measurement of water content. Exposed areas were blown almost completely clear of snow while any sheltered spots had a lot of drifting. There are still some remnants of the drifts to be seen so that gives an indication of how deep they were. On several days the best that I could do was to make a sensible guesstimate of the rainfall equivalent of the snowfall as there was nothing from which a sensible measurement could be made. From the figures shown in Andy's posting it seems that I might have underestimated the amount but we'll probably never know for sure. -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. |
