That's cool.

Any other size codes to enter besides med?

Well for fun I tried "sm" and it seemed to work. I can't guarantee that's a supported one but you might want to send them an email to check.

Thanks!  I tried small, which of course didn't work.

FWIW, nothing seems to give a nice 'largish' sized map.

Actually, if you just remove the size entirely it defaults to large.  "sm" = small and "med" = medium.  I think if you put in a value it doesn't understand it just defaults to large.

Not to spam this thread but I also found if you remove the state you get a US sized map.  In addition, you can change the map type by adding '&type=snow' or snowdepth or hail i.e.

Looks like you can get a county map as well if you want it...

Uh guys,
 I know this is a touchy topic as with any weather information we get but carefully read the bottom of the CoCoRasHS page. They forbid any reproduction or use of their pages without permission. I thought about grabbing this info (page) but saw that.... FWIW

Hmmm, Well, it looks like CoCoRahs originally suggested using this as an embedded image.

It would be nice of course to attribute the map to CoCoRahs with a Link for sure...

Yes, their suggestion. I sent them the link to mine, we'll see what they say. It's much like WU and places like that. As long as you're sending them data, you can use some of their stuff with proper credit. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours  kind of thing.
