Gauging the Weather


I've mentioned before that Ryan is fascinated by all things weather-related, so when I saw an ad on our local news website looking for people to measure and report on rainfall in their area, I submitted an application in Ryan's name (with me as a helper, of course). We were assigned our station number, we ordered and received our rain gauge, I mounted the gauge to a post, and today I got the post put up in the back yard! Tomorrow at 8:00 am Ryan will go out, read the gauge, and commence his "career" in weather reporting for CoCoRaHS! Unfortunately, it's not supposed to rain for the next three days. Hey, I had to wait for a dry spell! Who wants to go dig a hole in the rain?

Actually, it's the jacket my mom got him THREE years ago when we came down there and went to Disneyland! They've gotten a lot of wear out of them, but this will be the last year because they are finally growing out of them. :( I guess it's time to make another trip to Disneyland, huh? :D
