Station data sources

Every measured reading on the Stations pages is a station's own, published by the agency that runs it. These are the networks SnowSure may show, each with the credit its terms ask for and the licence the data is released under. A page credits only the networks whose stations appear on it.

SnowSure converts units for display and computes daily changes; it does not adjust a measurement. Readings from feeds whose terms do not allow republishing are used only to verify forecasts and are never shown.
