I would be interested in hearing from others who have rain gauges up what their rain fall was like in Alberta. Actually I suspect not many people have rain gauges.

Only tracking as far back as May, but my electronic rain gauge says 3.84" so far. There's been a bit of mist lately,

3.8 inches? thats bad, I spill that much mixing drinks.

Never heard of a electronic rain gauge. I will have to google it.

The wonderful thing our group achieved this year is; we could finally purchase a deep simple hand pump. What a wonderful pump!!! If you have a shallow well it will cost significantly less. Unfortunately our well is 300ft deep-so we had to save a bit 😕 . It was a huge concern for a while for me that we be able to have hand pumped water on site. Big relief!!! I will include a photo of it soon.

Yes please , pictures and model type! my well is 280? feet down I would like a 120 volt electric well pump, as I dont want to switch to a 240 volt split phase inverter. A hand pump would be a option I would consider if I cant find a 120 volt one I like.

It’s a home weather station: wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, pressure and rainfall. Then sent to a display I keep in the house.
