Just total your station and software 

My gauge doesn’t work properly. Needs calibration. I’m just too lazy to do it.

[CoastalWx]

I also have an issue with a growing tree canopy giving me issues when there is wind. At this point I should sell my Davis lol.

Too bad CocoCrisp doesn't tally monthy totals for more than like 2 months. Looks like most areas 35-40" or so give or take. I'm close to 40 I think or a bit under.

@ginx. I guess we know why he questions everybody’s totals now. He assumes they all have the same issues as he does!

Keep the Davis. Cut the trees. Priorities.

I use that map feature. Never look at this. Thanks. Weymouth seems low there, but not familiar with observer.

Ha I was going to say, you can tally all sorts of stuff for Cocorahs.  They have water year summaries and stuff.  You can find any date range you want.

I never looked at it until recently.

Quality control and only just finding that? .  Gotta bust balls.  The mapping gives a much better visualization though, I’m with you on that.  Would be good to see a whole 6-months mapped out.

Many Ct stations over 50 on the year. Ave is 49 to 54

I knew  Cocorahs, just never looked at it.  I just look at whatever is easy to find. I’m lazy and don’t care as much as I get older.

I think a ton of stations are over 50 for year. Nuts.

I remember seeing pics of your yard. Seemed like you had open space. You were totally told where you could put it. Lol

I don’t want it in the front where it is more open. Eye sore. These trees in the back where my station is, have grown a lot. To the point where I may have to cut it back a bit. But my son also likes to do penalty kicks near my station too. I wonder if that throws off calibration. I just need to take time and work on this and anemometer,  but honestly there’s a lot more important stuff to do. In truth, all I care about is winter temps and snow measurements.

56” here and that’s missing some from snow and ice that didn’t melt in

I don't know if I would call it many. That's out of 216 stations reporting.

A scientific mind would look at the number of days the stations reported and understand.  A person with a garden rain Guage and a faulty tipper wouldn't understand . Also he sorted it wrong

Okay 10 out of 216. Still not what most would consider many.

Also not sure what's up with th number of days reporting?? Newington had the fourth highest total and only 69 days reporting?

Multi day reporting.  One report for multiple days

.49 of Stein here today.

 

Was in the Norwell/Scituate area today. Got hammered around lunch time there. That area has gotten hit almost every time it’s rained this summer. Soaked

* says the guy with a garden rain Guage under the trees and a faulty tipper. Can't make it up. Lol. By the way why do you worry about what the neighbors think. Put up a 10 foot 4x4. Put some flowers around it put the wireless Davis on top.

I worry. A 4X4 post with a Davis in the middle of the front looks dumb. I don’t even like having it in the back. Ideally on roof, but that makes it suffix it to access.
