I really enjoy reading this thread everyday. I'm a weather junkie and like seeing everyones reports. Mo, yours are awesome. Lots of details. Do you have a weather station where you live?

and submit a report daily of rainfall totals and snowfall when we get it. Hail reports as well. l have done this for years now. The system in nationwide, including Canada. Last time I noticed they had well over 10,000 folks reporting daily. Hurricanes hitting an area are facinating to see the rainfall totals in a 24 hour period. Let me know if anyone is interested in getting involved from your location. The information taken is used by many agencies, National Weather Service being first and foremost.
