Try This - mPING

The National Weather Service is calling for a mixed bag of precipitation for our region. Doesn't that always seem to be the case for our region?

Anyway, one of the forecasters made a reference to a site that some of you may be interested in checking out. The name of it is called mPING, or Meteorological Phenomena Identification Near the Ground.

It is a project specifically designed for identification of precipitation types and involves your input. I have not used it yet but will be checking into it more today.

I've been reading the Frequently Asked Questions section and the different types of precipitation to be reported along with a brief description of each one.

It's been designed for mobile applications and is downloadable at the App Store and Google Play.
