Default Weather Watchers, anyone?

I had suggested to TOTV admin a topic here called Weather Watchers. Rain reports, weather monitoring equipment, etc. Here is their response:

>> Hello,

Thank you for the feedback and suggestion. We have not had any prior requests for this. You may want to make a post on the forum and see how much interest there would be for something like this. If there is enough support we can add it.

Best Regards,

TOTV Team <<

If you are interested in this topic, please post so I can show to admin.

Thanks, and happy weather!

I would be very interested in this. I hope there's enough interest to start this.

I like the idea a lot. We have such different weather sometimes from one section to another of TV.

We have many NWS/NOAA approved storm spotters in TV. I'm one, and would be interested.

I'm in. How many do we need to actually be weather watchers. The rest will just reap the knowledge we gather.

Great idea. I am a self proclaimed weather nerd and would find this of interest. May even participate.

It would a great advantage to full timers, and those away from their homes at different times.

Given where we all live and the potential for many kinds of weather events, this seems like a no brainer to me.

Seems like a no brainer to me, too! Bet it will help snowbirds during the rainy season know whether to fret about their property - or not fret!
