For 30 yrs I've had a straight-sided empty peanut butter jar. Gone uptown now, lol. Plastic with markings etc. I will still have to dump out before frost, oh well.

I had a cheap one last year. Forgot about it over winter and it froze and broke. Wouldn't matter anyway can't remember the last time we had rain that counted.

I wanted to put mine up high, but was "over-ruled". So it sits in the middle of a flowerbed, for now.

Mo...I know how dat goes...ours is sitting in the flower bed too neighbor has one of those fancy ones...it's digital and she can read the amount of rain/temperature and humidity from the comfort of her house... I'm the worse enemy of anything left in a "choice" spot...so I'd run it down too W8in..ifin it was... but with me, I'd mow around it...then after succesfully getting it mowed around...I'd back over it...or forget it and WHAM...best fer me in a high spot, or someplace I SELDOM ROAM Michael, I had a cheap "FREEZE PROOF" gauge...phunny how that design failed...
