Looking for a great project? Try CoCoRaHS!

 I went out to check my rain gauge this morning to see what Tropical Storm Ophelia brought us last night.  This is a fun task I do every morning.  I reported the 0.24 inches online and noticed the great graphic of the path of the storm. 

CoCoRaHS Rainfall map from Ophelia - 9/23/2023 8am

You too can contribute a dot to a map like this.  All it takes is a rain gauge (currently on sale here) and to sign up to be a CoCoRaHS volunteer.
