Poll: Data finding and data stops

[Eric Flescher]

Curious who does what to gather data:
I am trying to have input in this poll
do you

(1) Primarily use libraries for weather data
(2) use your own wifi or a team members'
(3) just using weather/ noaa radio
(4) log into local news stations and news
(5) depend on nowcasting by others
(6) other
(7) all (including watching conditions etc etc)

Primarily I use Cellphone Data connections to download data to my laptop. I've written my own app to pull the essential text-based stuff and some graphics, then I have a number of model and nowcasting sites in my favorites when I have the badwidth to do it. The bulk of my data, though, is through GRLevel3 and subscriptions to AllisonHouse and F5 Data.

When I have wi-fi available, I use it -- although now that I"m using EVDO cell phone data, the need to do that has become less.

Then there's the weather radio, and a StormHawk, and two nowcasters, plus my own observations.

Guess the answer is "all" -- except stopping at a public library for anything but wi-fi access.

Combination...getting used to wi-fi (first season I've used it), nowcaster (thanks to Bob Schafer!!!!!), NWR, and going old school with good old fashioned visual obs. Rather enjoying being solo again...

OK, back on the road now

Since I chase for a TV station here in Amarillo, I always have someone within a hop, skip and a jump from a radar display and weather data. I also use libraries and WIFI hotspots on occasion.

I mainly use good ol' visual observation, WX Radio/Scanners, and the cell phone connection (T-Mobile).
