Default Question - Melted Hoar Frost/Rime - is it counted in RainfallTotals?

Hi, Roy,
It should be added to your monthly total and a daily note made that it
was dew or hoar.
Met O practice is to enter XX and the amount,
thus 0.2mm dew/hoar etc would be entered XX02


I wonder if this was the case at St James's Park yesterday - the Met
Office stats page for the Southeast has "St James Park" as the wettest
at 0.2mm:

Assuming this is the one in London, I'm pretty sure no rain fell
there, but there was a heavy frost/dew. Any ideas?
