I've joined also. The NWS in Binghamton, NY has been to my place
and tomorrow is installing a 4" rain gage for me. I'm gonna be the new
Coop Observer for our area now that they moved our airport.

Great News!
I don't honestly know if there is anyone close to my area that participates in that program.. Need to check into that. Might be something for me to consider..

I just got my email reply too. I need to buy one of their rain gauges, but other than that *small* detail I am ready to go. I am in Rose Ny, so not horribly far away.

Generally, if one participates-attends a training program held at and in a NWS station, they have official 4" rain gauges they will give you.  Much better than you will ever buy.  Folks should look into attending a class at there local station I know they are available that way.  Worth attending.

CNYN,
NWS doesn't install 4" rain gauges for a coop observer they install the big 8" gauge for this.  I became a coop observer in May and they installed the 8" here on the property. The 4" is used for spotters and cocorahs members.

The rain gauge is all thats holding me back right now here..just haven't gotten around to ordering one yet :-)
Hopefully will get that taken care of as soon as my firewood cutting slows down :-) :-)

Ney Nieghbor, did you go to the training? I am just down the road from you a bit, wondering how far I will have to travel for training?

I just got an email Bob about a training session in Syracuse.

Tim, they were gonna install a 8" one, but they wanted me to do
CoCoRaHS too. Yeah, I'm the COOP guy here also.

I have not gone to the training yet. I understand there will be one in Auburn around the 9th of November, but I'll be at work... hopefully they will have another on a weekend. There might be some closer to you in Monroe county too.

The slide show training outlines everything pretty well, but I am looking forward to sitting in a class with a lot of like minded people and soaking up all the info   I can.
