So there is a “chance” of snow over the next few days….  and we are going to 
activate SKYWARN in a report mode starting Friday as weather dictates and 
continue taking reports as needed thru the event. 


We are going to need a lot of help over the next 3 days completing out mission 
of taking information and getting it into the hands of the National Weather 
Service. So feel free to jump in and take a few hours taking reports.


The Plan as it stands is to open in Report Mode and email in reports that we 
receive. If we get anything super critical we can call these reports in. This 
plan keep us all safe at home and off the roads. (there is a chance some of you 
are still on the roads from last night)


This is a great opportunity for us to hone our skills as Net Control’s working 
on the scripts and getting some the new folks involved. As we work thru the 
Snow Storm or Blizzard if anyone is interested in helping out as Net Control 
or anyone who has never been Net Control before let us know! This is a great 
training opportunity and there are plenty of us around to get you started on 
the right path.


A little reminder for all of us…… 



The National Weather Service is looking for reports of the following:
1.   Snow accumulation in inches
2.   Any ice accumulation on trees, streets, or power lines
3.   Sleet or freezing rain
4.   Wind gusts in excess of 35 miles per hour measured using an anemometer.
5.   Impassable or closed roads” 
6.   Downed trees, large branches, or power lines. 
7.   Any other storm-related damage.





If you have pictures or would like to email your Snow Board reports in 
directly you can always send them to 
		LWX-report at noaa.gov


Any questions please feel free to email. 
Thanks for everyones help I know NWS is greatly appreciative.
