Disambiguation link notification for February 24
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Humid continental climate, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Isotherm. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:04, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I had a quick question about what sources of rainfall are considered acceptable for rainfall records. Norbert dumped over 5" of rain in my neck of the woods last year; if I go to the WFO page on the event, I see an ALERT gauge reporting 5.63" of rainfall. (The FCDMC page about the event has a total of 5.51"). However, the NWS WFO reports that a spotter measured 6.09" of rain during the event. Which total do we go with? Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 01:04, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
- I just saw this. I'd contact the Phoenix office (that's PSR I believe) and see where the source for the 6.09" was. Did you check CoCoRAHS? I got 6.25" from CoCoRAHS when I did the rainfall graphic a several months back. Thegreatdr (talk) 20:22, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
