Is now a good time to discuss the use of vague words as accumulation definitions? To me that is unequivocally a dusting, a covering requires me not to be able to see grass or tarmac?

You've got the rain intervention from 2pm to 3pm. 

 

Been downgraded and pushed later into the night here (6pm to 8am). It's okay I needed an excuse to stay up and watch the winter Olympics anyway.

wish i could its a hell hole on many levels, inc the weather.

I cant tho, for various reasons.

Whether its NW, WNW , W, the showers miss this area virtually every single time.

EDIT and these showers are defo coming on a NW wind contrary to every thing i have seen, so that explains why nothing getting near MBY.
