Looks like it discarded my post - apologies if this gets duplicated. Of course, stop weewx while doing the reset.
In case you can't find the manual, the reset process is: press the "rain" area on the console 2 or 3 times until it shows "accumulated" rainfall. The date area will show you when the counter was started. At this stage there will be a "mem" button on the bottom row. Press and hold that until the accumulated rainfall shows zero. restart weewx, and the log should now tell you " possible missed rain event: new=0.0 old=None". I just did this myself as an experiment.
