... New Hampshire volunteers wanted to measure precipitation...
...
A citizen-driven weather observation program is now established in
New Hampshire and residents are invited to become amateur observers
for the group by measuring and reporting rainfall... hail... and snow
data in their own backyards. On July first... New Hampshire became
the forty-sixth state to join the community collaborative rain,
hail, and snow network, or cocorahs for short. This unique,
nonprofit community-based network of volunteers works together to
advance the understanding of local weather and its impacts. These
observations are used by the NOAA National Weather Service to help
improve and verify the accuracy and timeliness of forecasts and
warnings. Currently... the locations where we have the fewest number
of volunteer observers are Coos... Sullivan... Cheshire... Belknap
... Merrimack..and Grafton counties... although citizens from all
across New Hampshire are asked to join. Cocorahs is expected to
reach Maine by August first.
