March 18, 2019. Yet ANOTHER clear and sunny day! The snow is melting. The varied thrushes are trilling. The mice are hoping today's high temperatures (forecast is for the low 50s!) will take care of the remaining roofalanche hazards in the village! Meanwhile, while waiting for the next big SNOWSTORM (which, they are sad to report, is NOT on the forecast horizon AS OF YET), they are happy to be wearing sandals and t-shirts. And "ALWAYS FILL IN POST-HOLES" is their motto. Unabridged that reads: "ALWAYS FILL IN POST-HOLES, POST-HOLING WITH SANDALS IS UNPLEASANT, AND HOT CHOCOLATE CURES ALL ILLS. ALOHA!"

National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Observer Program (COOP)
Holden Village provides the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration daily readings from our weather station, located next to the Holden School. Weather data is gathered each morning by volunteers and transmitted electronically to the National Weather Service office in Spokane, Washington. This data is also posted in the dining hall, updated on the Holden Web site, and retained for Village records. What is the Coop Program?
