Funnel and inner tube removed yesterday due to forecast of freezing rain and snow. Funnel re-installed in evening to reduce evaporation. Small amount of water in outer tube was partially frozen.
0.41" of hot water was added to inner tube and then poured into outer tube to melt the ice. Water was then poured back into the inner tube where I promptly spilled some, resulting in a measurement of 0.405", meaning I spilled more water than was collected in precipitation.
An estimate done after this spill by adding more water to the outer tube to visually estimate how much I started with indicated that there was PROBABLY only around 0.02" of precipitation collected, but due to my mistake of spilling I cannot state this with a high level of certainty, so today's reading is therefore NA.

Actively raining during gauge reading. Cloud to cloud lighting flashed overhead as I was taking the reading and I realized I should have delayed my rain gauge reading, but it was too late at that point.

Gauge was installed at 1819 yesterday, so observation does not cover the full 24 hours.
No precipitation was observed in the gauge this morning. Gauge (and everything else outside) was covered in frost.
