I'm watching the radar, doesn't look good, hopefully the rain in those green blobs doesn't hit the weather gauge at the airport.

Did it register on the geiger counter at the weather station though?

Yeah that is what I meant by Rain Geiger counter! No idea what a real rain vein measurer is called?

In a million years... you would never have guessed that a device to measure rain is called a "rain gauge" ??

Well, it was wet as I walked past Pearson today! Big drops falling all around. Evaporated almost instantly, though. Ground never got wet. I wonder how many fell in the measuring thing there? :)
