dendrite Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I mean, if you're a serious, serious weather observer you upgrade from the 4" gauge and go with the standard 8" NWS gauge. That'll cost you a few Benjamins unless @OceanStWx decides to hook you up. http://cocorahs.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-8-inch-standard-rain-gauge.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocorahs' snow procedures recommend taking out the inner tube and leaving the outer, which is said to tolerate some rain-then-freeze. However, sequences like below while we were in SNJ with the grandkids might disprove that, and I'd rather not have to buy a new gauge. December 2018 21 37 34 2.09" 22 49 30 0.08" 23 30 8 (Afternoon max was probably about 20 and the low likely came at my usual 9 PM obs time.) 24 30 3 The 5-gal bucket I use to catch cold-season precip had a major bulge on the bottom due to the ice cake within when we returned home. I was surprised the bottom hadn't broken, but the bucket is somewhat softer plastic (and slightly tapered) compared to the Stratus. I just take the gauge in if I expect either dry weather or snow.
