Any CoCoRaHS observers on this forum?

Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network
CoCoRaHS is a unique, non-profit, community-based network of volunteers who observe weather. Fun and informative. I started observing in August with daily rain guage reports. Must use the approved guage. Great for retirement. Take a look at https://cocorahs.org/ for more information.

..to get my snow levels. We used to have our own page with a weather camera. Hubby and I trained as weather watchers years ago and for about a decade we chased storms with the same group. I will have to check your site out.

Observing weather and sharing the information is fun. A friend who lives nearby on a small farm calls me for rain totals. Our network is growing and the data is used by NOAA and USDA. Information on soil moisture and drought conditions are used to get local and regional overviews useful for agriculture, fire, conservation and even fire threats.
