Regular readers (hi, family!) know that I’ve long measured daily rain and snowfall for CoCoRaHS. With the Trump Team’s incoherent slashing of NOAA to benefit private weather companies, this collection of citizen-science data will become even more important.

One reason NH doesn’t get many new members is that our state-level coordinators are pretty much ineffective. They are a couple people at NWS in Gray Maine and our state climatologist of whom I have nothing good to say so I won’t.
