If I understand correctly, clocks in Boston went forward one hour at 2am on 10 March. WeeWX should have handled this correctly; the net result being your database will have no data from 2am to 3am 10 March. This is expected behaviour and should not be the cause of any lost data. This is all predicated on the Vantage console clock and daylight saving settings being correctly set and the console changing time as/when it should. If the console behaved correctly I have no idea what the problem could be; you may find some clues by looking at the log from say 1am to 4am on 10 March (ie what records were added to archive) or you may find some clues by looking through the archive table in the database, but these are long shots. Tom or others may have more ideas.
WeeWX does have a known issue when daylight saving ceases in that one hour of data is lost when the clock is wound back by one hour. But I do not recall any issues such as this when daylight saving starts. I'm guessing you are using the weewx-realtime-gauge_data extension <https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-realtime_gauge-data> to drive your SteelSeries weather gauges? If so, the reason you did not notice any error is that the weewx-realtime-gauge_data extension keeps its own running daily (midnight reset) rain total based on incoming loop packets. So it is impervious to (well non-midnight/non-1am) daylight saving changes. If you are using a template based gauge-data.txt it will suffer from the same issues as any other WeeWX generated web page as it uses the same $day.rain.sum tag.
