Totally non-tech: he goes out every morning at 7am and notes the amount of rain, empties it, and goes back inside to have breakfast. He's kept records for decades and they're quite revealing. He's in Berkeley, CA and his records are often quite different than the "official" numbers. Doing this over a long period of time and including temperature data can result in something meaningful. As for digital weather stations... I use the Internet. :P Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA www.nwkayaking.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
