This ends our local growing season at 214 days making this our 6th longest growing season on record with the longest being the 233 days back in 2005. Average growing season is 188 days with the shortest being the 119 days in 1956 with a 1st freeze of September 20th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 General question: Can the Stratus rain gauges handle water freezing in the tube or will they break? I know cheaper plastic gauges crack easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know cheaper plastic gauges crack easily. I never give mine the chance, take the measuring inner tube out in the winter. Ultimately the numbers will fade out so that also prolongs the condition of the tube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the larger tube is used for snow/core measurements. If water is in the bottom of that larger tube and it freezes, is there the same concern? I guess so? I guess I'll just bring it in for the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mine the larnger cylinder cracked as there was water in it that froze. Just bring the cylinder out when snow is forecasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susqushawn Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Was hopeful this would be the first night below freezing here but inversion is sharp. The bit of elevation keeps me at 38 while just down the road bit lower sub 30. Barney 1 and Barney 2 will do the trick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
