Your observations continue to give scientists an ever clearer picture of where and how much precipitation falls throughout our communities.ĬoCoRaHS (pronounced KO-ko-rozz) is a grassroots volunteer network of backyard weather observers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail and snow) in their local communities. It's easy to join, takes only five minutes a day and is a fun way to learn about this wonderful natural resource that falls from the sky. If you get the chance, please take a moment to tell a friend or neighbor about this exciting grassroots effort of citizens measuring precipitation right in their own backyards. How often have you seen it rain in your neighborhood and a few blocks away not a drop has fallen. The saying " Rain doesn’t fall the same on all " really proves to be true.
