I finally joined after a couple of years of "fence sitting". I purchased the 4" CCR rain gauge and installed it, temporarily in my turnaround. It, more than likely, will stay in this location except when I need to move the trailer in and out. This is the best spot I have without trees and a building. Also, in the winter, this is one of the few spots that doesn't get drifting snow.
The county I am reporting in is almost 1900 square miles in area and there are currently five reporting stations, of which two are within five miles of me.
Since I am gone a lot, I will be giving a lot of multi-day reports, but I figure it is better than nothing.
My biggest concern will be trying to get SWE of accumulated snow when the snow depth is anywhere from 30-40+ inches.
Station is CO-GR-68
