[CoCoRaHS advised me active stations should be based on the last Water Year Summary report instead of the List Stations page that I used last month. Zach wrote “Looking at the Water Year Summary report for Washington, we have 447 stations that reported at least once during the period October 2011 - September 2012. So that is probably a good number for Washington, it may be a bit more.”] Thank you, Zach, for this correction.
