    Many thanks @JennyJ for the update and real figure. I compare too what windy forecast and what comes out at the end. 
    About the 60mm, that’s what I also thought until the BBC weatherman spoke about 50mm rain and half a meter. When we get 10mm, I have 1 cm in my bowl and was wondering why 100mm can cause a flooding. This explains it better: https://www.cnbctv18.com/environment/explained-what-exactly-is-1-mm-of-rainfall-10088051.htm
    Therefore, you had 45 liter per square meter. That is a lot.

    Our last four 30-year averages for March are between 32 and 44 mm, so yes 45mm in 10 days is a lot for me at this time of year :). It hasn't made up for the dry January and very dry February though, and the early part of March was dry too.

    Precipitation 24%

  • Gusty winds and raw at 29F, but the sun has made an appearance now and again.  I managed to get a path shoveled back out in the pasture and measured the snowpack.  It was at 23" inches yesterday but I'm sure it's a little less today.

    Rain and rain. Reminds me of London (and anywhere else) buses, we had a long hard draught then followed by rain, rain and more rain.

    Mustn't moan, I guess we need the water but living close to the presently high Gt Ouse and the Nene, I'm watching all this water gush into the Channel. 

    My only gripe is that I can't get to sort out the garden beds, oh and I'm fed up of wiping my dogs feet after he's trampled through the soggy quagmire lawn.
    Trying to be the person my dog thinks I am!

    Another 3.5mm of rain overnight :). If it keeps on like this it'll be a splendid summer for plants.

    Rain through the night and this morning, but brightening up now and turning into a pleasant afternoon, not cold. Everything is looking rather lush at the moment.
  • Dry and grey this morning, but raining beautifully now.

    Bright blue skies with nary a cloud in sight.  Low 40sF and a gentle breeze.  Starting Thursday we take a turn for the soggy, snowy, worse.  :/

    Happy first day of spring!
