Stornoway 1 mm, Leconfield and Portland 2 mm, Boulmer, Plymouth
(Mountbatten) and St Catherine’s Point 3 mm, Culdrose 7 mm, Jersey
Airport and Guernsey Airport 12 mm, St Mary’s (Scilly) 34 mm.


I don't normally set much store for the figures for UK towns given in
the Telegraph's weather feature, as they often seem like a lot of
rubbish, but the precipitation totals they give for some mainland
stations for the 24 hours to 6pm are a lot bigger than any given above,
and seem more credible being the depth of snow that many areas have had.
They include 0.32 at both Aviemore and Cardiff, 0.31 at Dundee (max of
2C and weather given as rain), 0.18 at Eastbourne (max of 1C and weather
given as ice), 0.19 at Gravesend, 0.47 at Oxford, 0.49 at Portsmouth,
0.59 at Salisbury, 0.18 at both Worcester and Yeovil. The weather was
given as snow except where I've indicated otherwise.
