Re: [Info] Citizen Science

How is this news to anyone????
Before the satellite/dopler era this is the way the NWS operated largely from volunteer observer data reporting to their regional stations... and actually still does in the local realm. There are dozens of reporting weather observers in the FL Keys that input to the Key West NWS station, particularly related to very local important things like waterspouts actually there vs just potential.

It's news because we now have a more robust structure for data collection and analysis in CoCoRaHS and other networks. For those present and potential weather hobbyists and fans browsing our forum, I feel it's information worth presenting here, and I found the history to be interesting reading.

However, I'm inconsolably sorry my unworthy post insulted your erudite senses.

As an apology for my inexcusable transgression upon your esteemed presence, I have stripped myself of my shorts and T-shirt in favor of burlap and ashes.

In the spirit of Buddhist monks and in recognition of the Dalai Lama's birthday, I'll immediately go out to the busiest intersection of the nearest city center and slit my throat with a chain saw while in self immolation from a mason jar of bootleg corn whiskey.

My last vision will be of my autographed poster of Tom Skilling, which I have instructed to be buried with my ashes.

Yours in abject shame and remorse,

EG
