In January we initiated our Davis weather station web server observations on-line.  These data are now available in real-time for our Summit County, Colorado weather station at 9684 ft msl (2952 m).  Davis data are vailable from thousands of stations from weather enthusiasts and professionals around the world.  The map locator shows what stations are available.  In Summit County we are experiencing a very heavy winter with much cold and snow that is providing an outstanding SKI SEASON.  At our weather station we have had over 180 inches (457 cm) total accumulation by 10 February which makes this among the top 10 snowy winters according to Rick Bly, the Summit's long time weather observer.

In late January we attended a Learning Teacher Network conference in Berlin where ESA Astronaut Dr. Christer Fuglesang presented a stimulating talk on his experiences at the International Space Station.  Dr. Fuglesang showed many beautiful photos of the Earth and discussed challenges of living in space for extended periods. He trained with other asronauts at the NASA Houston Manned Space Flight Center for 10 years prior to going to the International Space Station representing Sweden. 

In 2010 we continued to maintain the WaterNet networking and interactions with previous collaborators and established new connections with the Danish Hydro team that is working with ARSO on improving flood and streamflow forecasts in major river basins of Slovenia. Updates with the NASA web links and new contacts were provided for real-time information retrieval on this web site - see drop-down menus.

Outreach efforts included presentations on floods and hazardous weather events from Tennessee to China including Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Pakistan all of whom experienced record or near record floods, debris flows and much loss of life in Pakistan and India.  A review of Climate Change studies and impacts was presented to 4th year students at the Trnovo Primary School in Ljubljana for their science study.
