I noticed 1.83" rain here since yesterday in my CoCoRAHS gauge but only 0.5" in the VP2 so I did a quick check and found the weep hole plugged up and the rain cone half full of water.
I saved the water in a pot and slowly poured into the cleaned rain cone and listened for the tipper. Probably lost under 0.10" of readings due to pouring it in too fast but got pretty close. Here's one place where graphs helped. Look at the slow+steady rain accumulation all day. No way it rains that consistently. A clear pointer to 'clean the gauge'. I'll be in the db tomorrow zeroing out my ridiculous 48 in/hour rate that manually pouring the backlog in slowly created :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
