The Dog Days of August are here! Believe it or not, it's time to think about snow.
It's that time of year and time to refresh our memories on measuring snow. Please visit the CoCoRaHS web link for more information:
http://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=measuresnow
ALSO:
1) Important: If you need to enter precipitation accumulated over a multi-day period, please use the Multi-Day Accumulation report option that is available on your account.
2) We do not carry hail pads and were unable to find a local vendor with less expensive versions. These can be ordered through CoCoRaHS for $3.75 at the following link: http://www.weatheryourway.com/cocorahs/store.html.
Or, you can make your own hail pad:
http://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=MakingHailPads
If you have a hail pad, be sure to mark the location of where the pad is placed ex, 3 miles south east of "city". Be sure to mark your station ID on the hail pad report which can be found on the CoCoRaHS website! Always remember to anchor your hail pad, the last thing you want is your valuable hail information being carried away in the wind.
