I finally got information back from the USDS on what the issue is with the NRCS reporting site of SNOTEL info. They had a systems update on Friday that shut their reporting web site down. I was able to access the information, but it took some digging. So… until the site is back up and running as normal, I will only report the SNOTEL info once per week.
