Been quite interesting to see the accumulation of rainfall (snow)
totals the last couple of days that starts around 11am and stops about
4pm. This is caused by the snow in the funnel slowly melting through
before what's left freezes.

Yesterday 2.4mm
Today 4.2mm
Still a little ice at the bottom to melt, I guess that will go
tomorrow.

Hi, Keith,

I have a 12 volt system rigged up in my Davis AWS rain gauge with a 21W
car light bulb. This speeds up the thawing process. It works reasonably
well above -2C.

ATB,
