rain gauge

http://www.alexareynolds.com/garden09/watergauge.JPGI bought a cheap little rain gauge.  I'm pretty obsessed with checking the temperature and weather, I figured I might as well start obsessing over rainfall too.  Unfortunately in Melbourne, if I get any rain at all this is generally what the gauge looks like: some spatters but not even enough to reach the 1mm mark.

We have been getting a bit of rain though so I can't complain, it's practically Oregonian out there compared to how it was this summer.

And there is one advantage to when it only rains a little bit ... you get one of these beauties.
