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

Unusually, I got 0.2 mm from melted hoar frost in the standard 5"

Similar to you Norman, just shy of 0.2mm in std copper gauge from this
mornings hoar/rime. Once or twice a year I'll record 0.2mm, usually on
a
claggy North Sea day. You don't record this as a rain day do you??
please tell me no, otherwise I've been cocking up for 30 years
