First test case for my CoCoRaHS rain gauge

We've had three bands of rain move through today, the first around 5AM brought 0.21", a minor one came through around 10AM and added just 0.03", and then we picked up 0.12" in the most recent band around 7PM. At times this afternoon, we had a few breaks in the cloud cover. This, along with the strong southerly breeze all day, drove our high to just over 52F this afternoon.
The real news of the day however is that my Davis Vantage Pro 2 rain guage reported exactly the same amount of rain as the official CoCoRaHS rain gauge; providing the initial vote of confidence in the accuracy of my 4.5 yr old Vantage Pro.
