Sorry for the ignorent question, but why would you need a heater for the Rain Collector ?

Is it because of the very cold temps where the rain collector might get frozen  ? Or is it for any other specific reason ?

The coldest we get over here is -2/-3C  (about 16F) and that's only a few days, generally we have 5-7C ( 41F) during winter , do I need a heater as well ?

Secondly is there a Gauge to measure snow and send this snow info wirelessly to WMR200 or the RFXCOM 433.92MHz receiver ?

Thanks

Damn :)

I wish we had snow over here, normally we get snow maybe twice a year and that is only a few days, I guess I should not be worried about the heating process of my rain collector than :)
