12mm before 9am

We have a rain gauge. It is Exciting. We are Proper rural folk now.

Heavy shower overnight? Just check the gauge for precision. Rained all day? Wow, 18mm since 9am and it's still raining. Add that to the 12mm before 9am (9am being our logical empty and reset time) and it makes over 30mm since yesterday. Imagine. Fancy. We love these conversations. Add in a good rain radar app and a surprising amount of time can be occupied. Add in an iPad and what do we have? Rainfall spreadsheet. Bliss.
