After our first taste of snow Friday night into Saturday morning, how much did you get? Reports around Marshalltown were around three inches, but Gilman checked in with four a half inches? How to be sure? Become a weather spotter for the National Weather Service.

A free webinar on how to do just that is online this evening.

Meteorologist Alex Krull says they’re constantly recruiting weather spotters to help be the eyes and ears for forecasters.

The webinar is free and runs from 7 to 8 PM. Register to take part at www.weather.gov/dmx.
