Looking for folks who would be interested in playing host to some sensors, radios, and small computers. I would be collecting atmospheric conditions, gases, radiation, and emergency pages sent out to first responders.
This would be a part of what might be an open mesonet network of stations that provide more data than your typical weather station. As host to the station you would have access to the data coming from it as well as the data collected from other stations.

I'm glad to hear that the COCORAHS gauge is nearly identical to the official one because I have two of those and like them. I'm guessing the COOP gauge is more accurate beings it has a larger diameter. I actually have 5 gauges out. Two other small ones always show less unless it rains a lot, like over 1" as they tend to catch up. I like my digital Davis gauge, but it's not consistent and I never fully trust digital gauges. I have a spare older Davis station/gauge and both rain guages had to be adjusted up a bit (calibrated) to match my other gauges. The new Vantage Pro2 has a redesigned gauge so the wind affects the rain less that's entering it. I don't know if the new design helps much. Davis finally came out with a touch screen console last year but it needs to be plugged in an outlet as battery backup won't last long. I'd get one if they'd make it totally wireless like what I have.
I’ve noticed the long range ensembles seem to be hinting at a warmer pattern starting around 5/10. It would sort of make sense timing wise. I’m glad we’re getting a solidly cool and wet pattern in beforehand.
