I have noticed this a few times....
But not had the time to analyse why...
If the Weather Station reboots during the day (maybe it lost the wifi connection and it rebooted) - then total rain gets reset to zero... sort of.
If you have db logging on - Total Rain is preserved, and the database will show the total rain for times after the reboot. However Weather Underground will reset to 0 and increment from the boot time. WeatherStem seems to do the same ?
I think the WeatherStats.txt in State folder is not updating or is resetting ?
I have not experimented enough to work out what is going on - but today my system rebooted itself mid morning.... both web sites are showing no rain for the day, yet it did rain during the night and the database is showing total rain as .14 - So something is strange happening....
(I have been too busy with my latest mod - my station now takes a sunset picture daily automatically based upon calculations, saves it for a little later, then shortly after midnight I have some SQL Queries to get max / min values for the day and other interesting information... What do I do with that ? I tweet it... Yes my weather station is now on Twitter sending out daily reports - LOL.... I'm running out of ideas for the next enhancement!)
