Now been able to measure the rainfall ... 11.7mm which gives
a ratio of about 13:1 ... about right for the fluffy stuff we've
had today. Temp now (1400z) +0.2°C.

That's interesting, Philip. Exactly the same ratio as I got at 09z this AM,
5.4 mm melted, 7cm depth.

I got a 10:1 ratio. 10cm snow depth and 9.8 mm in the rain gauge. Mind
you, the snow was piled in a heap on top of the funnel and some may well
have fallen off.
