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.
