I have never heard of or preached Stratus.  What is the difference between Stratus or other brands?  I don't have a Stratus.  My gauge looks like the one you just posted.  For sure it wasn't Stratus, whatever that company is.

That's the Stratus gauge.

I pull the Stratus for the cold seasons, Novie thru mid-April.  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.

Contrary to what I thought, this is not a really serious subforum.  Recommending a 4" rain gauge , no matter what brand, brought ridicule. Unbelievable.

All parties have been warned and the next step is permanent banning. Whether it's ridiculing you or ridiculing 4" gauges.

At least he has Three Bridges nearby to end it?

I have been following your subforum since it was was eastern weather and I considered it one of the best.  This response from CoastalWx makes me rethink.  What the F... happened?
