Would be good if you actually knew what irony was... or even a localised

and how it is properly observed.
Those who know "do" and those who dont 'troll" to cause mischief and disquiet.
Boring minds cannot keep useless crap (like yours) to themselves, rhey have
to say something to try to hide their ignorance.
This is a weather discussion group, why are you here if you cannot understand
it or are not interested in learning about it from a career Meteorologist?
Must be really dull and boring in your brain.
Hope you continue to have a nice uneventful life.
Your post would be creditable, were any of it actually true.
I have looked at the rainfall radar and its 24 hour accumulation figures for
yesterday and they give 0.25mm for much of Dartmoor. The only area with
2.5-3.5mm is to the west of Dartmoor in the area around Princetown which also
shows up well on this morning’s visual satellite images. However, Haytor is
at the extreme east of the high ground and well away from that area.
Radar isn't completely accurate. There are shadow areas (usually compensated for in image processing, but can be dependent upon wind direction and temperature/humidity vertical profile). Also, there are showers that radar struggles to resolve due to their small size.
If there were localised convergence areas, they don’t show up on yesterdays
high definition radar images, nor are the results visible from space this
morning.
Do you actually know what you are looking for? I was keeping an eye on more than one convergence line yesterday. Regarding results - snow has a habit of melting and/or sublimating. Also, it needs a not insignificant depth to be visible from space - so a centimetre may well not show up, especially if it overlays a dark peaty soil.
