    Press Release from National Weather Service:

    Weather Observer Needed!

    The National Weather Service office in Buffalo, NY is looking for a volunteer
    weather observer to take over the observing station in or within 5 miles of
    Osceola, NY. This observing station would be a part of the National Weather
    Service Cooperative Observer Network (Coop Network). The Coop Network
    comprises nearly 10,000 volunteer weather observers nationwide that report
    rainfall, snowfall, and snow depth to the National Weather Service on a daily
    basis. Data from Coop Network helps scientists to define the long term climate of
    the United States.

    Observers take measurements of precipitation, snowfall, and snow depth daily
    around 6 to 7 am. These measurements would be relayed daily to the National
    Weather Service either via the Internet or a toll-free phone number. These
    weather observations will be archived and used by future climate and research
    studies.

    You will be provided with a rain gauge and snow measuring stick.

    Your observations will assist the National Weather Service in its forecast and
    warning efforts, climatologists defining the climate of the United States and also
    help to predict drought conditions, agricultural planning and assessment, and
    more.

    If you are interested in helping us out or have any questions about the duties of a
    Coop Observer, please contact us at the address below. You can also contact us
    by calling 716-565-0204, or by sending an email to Dan.Kelly@noaa.gov.
