As of February 20th, or March 24th, or May 1st, Georgia has been participating in CoCoRaHS. The official start date was May First 2008. Some of us were so antsy that Nolan and Henry said to go ahead and let us start early. I signed up on March 24th and brought along about 12 rain observers that had already been reporting rain in Oglethorpe County, Ga. We had set up the
Oglethorpe County Rainfall Reporting Network in September 2006. The network merged into CoCoRaHS and is still publishing county rain amounts in our local newspaper.
Christine McGehee, Ga CoCoRaHS Coordinator, published an interesting document for The Georgia Water Resources Conference. It shows the value of accurate, credible precipitation reports.
