It’s not unusual to find a Mountain Citian who added a rain gauge to their life as they settled in here. We did.

I keep watch for Sonny Hollub’s rain report from Ruby Ranch on Nextdoor.com. Ruby Ranch doesn’t seem so close by vehicle; it’s over 9 miles. But, an overhead look as the crow flies shows Ruby Ranch is about 2 miles away from Mountain City.

Rain reports within Mountain City can vary by over half-an-inch. So, Sonny’s measurements to the 1/16 are close enough for me.
