Drumalbin, Bingley, Trawsgoed, Aberdaron and Charlwood 13 mm, Little
Rissington 16 mm, Sennybridge 21 mm, Capel Curig and Lake Vyrnwy 24 mm,
Spadeadam 25 mm, Aviemore 48 mm.

Hmmm ... I wonder how many of these large totals we've seen last few
days are from melting snow in unmanned and unchecked tipping bucket
gauges ...

I noticed this on Tuesday when 3 places in the north of Scotland reported
high rainfall totals without anything on the radar to back them up -
Tulloch Bridge 26 mm, Aboyne 28 mm, Altnaharra 44 mm.

I also had it in mind on the following days - but from this distance and
without specialist knowledge, I was not sure whether it was still a factor.
I should have been sceptical about the Aviemore figure since it was so much
greater than the others.

I also noticed during the periods of snowfall that the rainfall totals often
seemed too low for the depths of snow being reported.
