29mm so far. Would've been a fair bit more but the band last night moved NE in a line about 2 miles north of my house for a good 2-3 hours before sinking south. It's bad enough with rain because I love it, but if it had been snow it would've been an absolute nightmare 

2.0 mm Early this morning.

22.5 mm This month.
