On the point of your comment toward my question, in the central and southern LSV area, every NWS total is about .5 to .75" below almost the entire suite of reported figures on here (using the closest station to each report.) It was not just your area; it was central and southern LSV wide. If you take off CXY (though their yearly total is pretty consistent with the others) I would have thought most reports would have been between 3 and 3.75" while almost all were between 3.75" and 4.5". Not often that every NWS station is below every local report. Here is the updated COCO for compare though this has a flaw if the 7AM reporting is correct as it would include 7 hours of potential rain since midnight. The gauge differences could explain it but that goes right back to questioning all measurements then. People who use manual gauges also face the issue of being there to watch live and deal with evap.
LNS: 3.72----14.61
MDT: 3.23----15.37
THV: 3.11----14.11
