We've survived the Summer 2012. Believe it or not, it's time to think about snow.
Now that the summer is gone, and the drought is beginning to ease somewhat, it's time to refresh your memory on measuring snow. Of course there are the CoCoRaHS training slideshow, or ask any of your state coordinators.
Please continue to monitor precipitation. Even though the drought is easing, we still need to know where it is not raining. If you can record evaporation, please do that too.
**IMPORTANT:
1) If you need to enter precipitation accumulated over a multi day period, please use the Multiday report. This will help us with quality control of the data.
2) We are out of Hail pads. These can be ordered through CoCoRaHs. We never did find a local vendor that can provide them cheaper. The CoCoRaHs order is available at: http://www.weatheryourway.com/cocorahs/store.html . They are available for $3.75.
********************************************************************************************************************
ATTENTION MISSOURI COCORAHS MEMBERS!!! 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.
Your CoCoRaHs coordinators,
