[Weather] Rain Gauge

[Gary R. Schenaman]

Go to your local hardware store and pick up screen that is 1/4" square.  This will deflect the leafs and allow for water to run thru freely.   Good luck with calibrating the rain gauge.  It looks pretty close to the tipping bucket rain gauge that the company I work for makes.  isco
