Did you know that the record of official snowfall observations in International Falls goes back to the early 1900s NWS Duluth is looking for someone who is interested in helping continue that record as a paid snowfall observer this winter! This is a unique opportunity as there are only a handful of paid observers in the country, put in place to guarantee the continuity of the data record. This paid observer can be anyone in International Falls. Payment is a base pay of $115 a month, plus $4 for every observation submitted for the period from October 1 to April 30. A 6am morning observation is required every day, and then 6 hourly observations are needed if there is new snowfall. Contact NWS Duluth at nws.duluth@noaa.gov or the Observation Program Leader Steve Gohde at steve.gohde@noaa.gov if you are interested.
