:: Station Update - Rain Gauge
FYI to you avid readers and users of lakevilleweather.com: our rain gauge has been operating incorrectly over the last couple weeks or so. Last weekend's convective activity had produced the most significant rainfall, and our fear of a blockage in the self-tipping bucket's funnel was confirmed when it was pouring outside, neighboring stations were recording rainfall rates of .50"/hour or more, and we were showing zilch. The blockage has been cleared now, and recent light precip activity has been registering on the system. In addition, we are in the process of using neighboring station data as well as rule-of-thumb estimates from physical observation and NEXRAD rain total records to reconstruct precip data for the record archive.
