...This is Winter Weather Preparedness Week...
The key to a good winter weather forecast, warning or advisory
starts with good observations. An important component of this is the
reports the National Weather Service receives from citizen
observers. Help the National Weather Service by providing reports of
snow, sleet, freezing rain, and ice jam flooding.
To learn how to properly measure winter precipitation, visit
www.weather.gov/chicago or www.facebook.com/nwschicago or
www.twitter.com/nwschicago.
There is also a smartphone application that allows citizen observers
to provide reports of winter precipitation to the National Severe
Storms Laboratory. Visit mping.nssl.noaa.gov for more information.
National Weather Service Chicago has a network of volunteer ice
spotters that provide observations of ice formation and extent on
areas. This information is vital in the event of ice jam flooding.
Visit www.weather.gov/chicago for information on becoming an ice
spotter.
