But how much surface area does that entail? And does the water have to reach an inch in that bucket to be called an inch of rain?

At the airport they have a bucket with a float in it. The float raises and lowers on a scale that shows how much rain has collected in the bucket during a period of rain. If interested in making the same measurements on your own you'll have to buy one of their very special buckets from Lowes or Walmart and use a ruler to see how much rain ends up in your bucket... You'll probably also need a degree in meteorology as well so you can be wrong 80 percent of the time and people won't question you about your accuracy... ----- Original Message ----- From: tunecollector To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 6:00 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] give em an inch and I still won't know how much rain that is. I don't think an inch of rain constitutes a cubic inch of water per every square inch of surface. So how do they measure an inch of rain?
