CoCoRaHS has one of the more interesting acronyms you will see. It stands for Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow network. It is a citizen science project that supports the daily measurement of rain, hail, and snow. The featured chart presents the current number of observers per county with at least one report over the past year. It would certainly be nice to have an active reporter in all 99 counties of Iowa and more reports in general! The CoCoRaHS has full details on the project and links to a standardized rain gauge they recommend to measure rain and snow. The website has a number of tools and it is fun to compare your collected reports with your neighbors! Please consider joining the effort.
