.... than naive posts from newbies?

But really, than seeing 15mm of rain in the first few hours of a new month,
after a remarkably dry October (36mm up to last midnight, which is 49% of
average*)?

When "thrown back" at 09Z (yes, I went outside in it), this raised "October"
to a more typical (but still relatively dry) 51mm (70%).

Stats, huh?
