HAPPY BIRTHDAY COCORAHS
"16 years ago -- with excitement, enthusiasm and a little trepidation -- a small group of high school students from Fort Collins, Colorado working with us (the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University), launched the first CoCoRaHS website for web-based data entry and precipitation data sharing. The project was originally named the "Colorado Collaborative Rain and Hail Study" and was a direct response to a local flash flood that had wreaked havoc on our community in July 1997" - from Nolan Doeskin, CSU

I had to look for my first data to cocorahs:  03/15/2008

That's a lot of readings, but not as many as the charter members 16 years ago.

Good job, everyone!   

(of course, we could always use more members!)

Happy birthday CoCoRaHS. 
Well, you started before me.  I've been reporting since 3/26/2008.  Ga was scheduled to begin in May 2008 but our county had already been reporting locally.  Nolan allowed us to register & start before the Ga May kick off.

Kentucky officially kicked off Nov 1 2007 .... my first report 10/22/2007
First ETo report June 1 2012 ... I think 19 official stations at the time, the kick off group,
(Excluding roughly 20 initial 'test and eval' stations)
today there are about 110 ETo stations nationwide.

I bought the ETgage; didn't like it; repacked it.  WeatherYourWay doesn't give refunds.  The ET gauge is still packed.

Contact Noah, or Nolan, at CoCoRaHS and see if they can put the word out that you've got one for sale...

Wow, I didn't realize how long I have been inputting daily precip to CoCoRaHS. Have been a member since 4/10/2007.

After a while, it just became a daily habitual thing to do. Of course, here in Nevada, we don't get much in the way of precipitation so most of my entries are all zeroes.

The outer tube of the rain gauge is so cloudy I can't tell if it has anything in it or not. Guess I should break down and buy a new one...
