Solak Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Just saw this on NWS Wilmington's FB page and thought some of you would be interested. US National Weather Service Wilmington NC Though the chances are small for our area seeing snow tonight, if you do see snow, or even if it rains - be sure to report it here!

Solak Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 What I like about it is that unlike CoCoRaHS, which is limited to reporting from a fixed location, this allows you to report from anywhere, using your phone's GPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Pretty cool, thanks for sharing. Hope it catches on, it has the potential to be very informative when severe weather is bearing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
