It's relatively rare for the Seattle area to get snow, but yesterday we did, and I was guessing 1-1.5 inches.
Which got me thinking -- I have a rain gauge (part of the Netatmo weather station), but I don't recall seeing any *snow* gauges.
I was trying to think of how this would work. I would assume a tube about a foot-two feet high. LED's on one side, with corresponding sensors on the other. So, if if a sensor can't see its sensor, then you know the snow has risen to that level.
Does such a beast exist commercially?
