What to do with dew?

On mornings with very heavy dew, moisture may condense on the funnel of your gauge and then drip into the measurement cylinder. Should that be reported as precipitation?

The answer is NO. Dew is condensation on the surface, not precipitation from the sky. If you find moisture in your gauge from dew, do not include that in your precipitation report.

Dew may be a valuable source of water, however, for plants, animals and insects. If you observe heavy dew, report that in your "Observation Notes"
