CW2274:
At least a little more reasonable here...

Wrong. This place charges $11.25 for shipping making it exactly $100 plus tax.
However, irrespective of price, this Tropo gauge hype seems over the top—particularly in the winter. Capturing precipitation in this gauge or “the prior official gauge” aka the Stratus gauge, in the wintertime when snow is blowing around is at best a good faith estimate.

It is quite a bit longer and narrower than the original gauge.
I'll order spare outer cylinders and get the gram mass before the snow flies...

Just curious if you left your old coco up to compare readings.

I did not. I reused the same mount and just drilled new holes for the TROPO mount.
I do make comparisons with the Davis and Novalynx gauges. I put the 24 hour amounts at CoCoRaHS observation time in the comments. My ID is MI-PI-1. A comparison prior to the TROPO installation (5/28/2023) for the original gauge could be made vs. newer data.

Here is a photo of the new TROPO gauge as installed. This is the old mount reused from the original Stratus gauge.
