With a glass vial rain gauge, they need to be taken down as they will break with the expansion of water when it freezes. As for the plastic tube rain gauges, these can be left out in the cold weather, as our patented design will keep them from breaking from the ice for 2-5 years depending on the amount of sunlight it receives every year (sunlight deteriorates plastics over time.)   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #101010; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.
