The NWS has gone down the tubes...they will never acknowledge that an observer would report hail...they wont back you up when the FAA goes stupid...we know...they are like a whipped dog with its tail between its legs...FAA barks...NWS whimpers...The FAA/NWS thinks ASOS is the best thing since sliced bread...the snake oil salesman that sold this piece of junk should have been strung up back in the 80s...

The NWS will never mention certified weather observers on their website or any public forum. We are the mentally ill uncle that the family doesn't want to talk about. No respect or courtesy. Most of us have meteorology training and degrees on par with the "brightest" NWS employees. What a shame this world has come to be.

But don't expect the NWS to go to bat for us.
