the Backyard Rain Gauge
May 4, 2008 - 9:52am — Greg Boe
Now that spring is finally here, it is time to break out "the Rain Gauge" once again. Throughout the summer of 2008, you will find the official National Weather Service rainfall totals for the city of Chaska posted within this forum. And, of course, you can always pull up a chair in the backyard and visit with friends about the weather, recent storm damage, any weather related phenomenon that you have seen, and/or just about anything else that you would like to talk about!
