I've just been to look at the std raingauge, expecting to find snow in
the top collector and nothing in the bottle. But I found nothing in the
top either, in spite of the 4.5cm of snow we had yesterday. What am I to
make of that? And how do I measure the ppn for the records?

Is it possible that the snow has been blown out of the top by the
wind. If its any help my 7cm equates to 5.9mm of rain in Wanstead,
East London (32m). Meanwhile up the road at 70m 15cm fell! - the snow
was probably a lot lighter and therefore deeper...
