and I am quite sure that the same number of raindrops don't fall on every bit
of ground, so rainfall could well vary, ever so slightly, from one part of the
yard to another. Why not just settle for:
:For goodness sake! we've had enough rain already!" or conversely:
"That insy-binsy bit of rain didn't do a darned thing! I wonder why Hughie
bothered?!"

It's a highly scientific form of measuring. 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...

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?
