I check Weatherbug, but my numbers and theirs don't always jive. Then again, they were predicting showers the other day and we had a non-stop downpour the entire day LOL.

So, don't feel bad that you didn't know May was the rainiest month. :) It is hard to find a good, quality rain gauge. Good thing you were able to save the US Weather Service issued one.
