Thanks! I'd like to have a rain gauge, though. I'm looking for a
hardware/software setup. What I have now is decent, but it doesn't
couple with my computer, it's stand alone.

I tried to register with COCOROS (a national rain fall study) and they
say they don't want any automatic rain gauge data because they are not
particularly accurate.

I have a LaCrosse unit running the Heavy Weather package. It is not as
pretty as Wayne's software but it is free. It uploads to the web in
real time.

If you folks had saved some money when you were young, you could afford a decent rain gauge. This
one has lasted a long time, is quite accurate (mostly), and adds immeasurably to the decor:

As you can see, the recent snowfall yield was about 1/32d of an inch.
