A dry day is still a reportable day!
An important reminder: 0.00" is a report.
When you check your gauge and report 0.00", you're telling us something important: you checked, and there was no measurable precipitation. That's different from having no report at all.

So whether October 1 brings rain, snow, or blue skies, make your observation and submit your report.
