Rhino, or anyone else with Acu-Rite wireless rain gauges:
The manual says that the 00899 should be brought in for the winter.
Why? I left my old tipping bucket gauge out all winter for 10+ years with no problem. Is it the electronics (lithium cells) or the tipping bucket?
Can I just put a plastic bag over it for the winter?
The reason that I don't want to bring it in, is that I already broke off one of the tabs once (fixed with super glue).
By the way, can a replacement "funnel" be purchased?
