You are probably asking what is CoCoRaHS and what can I do to assist this community effort? CoCoRaHS is an acronym that stands for "Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow". Data is collected on a daily basis by Volunteer Observers and then uploaded to the CoCoRaHS web servers. Many areas of the country, including Idaho, are in need of CoCoRaHS volunteers. I am the only active volunteer in Gem County. Thus, valuable precipitation data is not being collected. To learn more about CoCoRaHS and how you can help with this collection effort, see the following link that takes you to the CoCoRaHS website where you will find information on how to become a volunteer. Volunteering takes very little time and only requires that you collect rainfall and snow amounts each morning and upload that data to CoCoRaHS.

My CoCoRaHS station ID is: ID-GM-5. Please consider joining CoCoRaHS and helping to collect valuable data. |
