More Wet Weather - Four Times Average February Rainfall!

Just for a change this month Friday turned out to be another wet day. During the course of today's rain, this year's February total surpassed four times our 10 year average for the month of February.  
February 2020 Rainfall Record
I'd have to say that over recent years February has been one of our drier months but that's definitely not the case this year.
Wettest Months 2010-2020
It's not a case of this month just making it into number one spot, it is the best part of an extra month's worth of rain ahead, and of course as it's a Leap Year there's an extra day to go. Storm Jorge is due to arrive tomorrow bringing more rain and gale force winds over the weekend. 
Some of the rain this week fell as wet, sleety snow, but never in any great amounts and not enough to settle. Our squirrel has been putting in some regular appearances this week. It's normally around in the morning and it was looking particularly bedraggled in the pouring rain one morning.
Hopefully, March will bring some better weather.
