Hello,
and welcome to the home of the New England
Weather Spotters
Network.
Support the
Spotters While most of
the interaction is through an Email list, this site provides
information for the spotters and also tools for submitting
weather "observations." One shortcoming of having spotters
report directly to NEWxSpotters.com, is that it doesn't allow interaction
between spotters. In fact, most of the web site exists because
of spotters working together and sharing their enthusiasm for
New England weather.
Keep up with
Technology The first spotters filed reports by telephone. I
created email lists that are now the primary source. Web forms
and automated posts are now becoming important as they offer
ways to automatically consolidate reports. This all meshes
well with the current generation of weather stations that
connect to home computers and email software.
Attract more Spotters That you're
reading this means you are interested in the weather. If you
have an accurate thermometer, simple rain gauge, and a desire
to help us provide you with the best weather reports in New
England, well, we'd love your help. You don't need a computer,
as the telephone still works!
I'm reluctant to refer to "my spotters" because they
aren't "mine" They're all volunteers and often go way beyond
the call of duty. I continuously marvel at their dedication
and skills and owe them an ever increasing debt of
gratitude.
