I have been asked by some of you on how you can "help" or "donate" to alleviate the costs of running Route 20 Weather. As you know, all products on the Route 20 Weather Facebook page, the Route 20 Weather website and the Route 20 Weather app are 100 percent free, but this does come at a cost.
Behind the scenes, I have to pay for website hosting, costs to have the app running and shown on the Apple App Store and the Google App Store. There are also enormous costs for weather data, radar data and other weather products that I look at. Finally, it takes a lot of time for me to analyze the data and come up with and send out the forecasts and updates you see on here.
All donations go directly towards paying the costs of running Route 20 Weather and if you would like to help, you can do so by donating through PayPal or Venmo.
If you'd like to donate using PayPal, the link is https://paypal.me/Route20Weather .
If you'd like to donate through Venmo, you can do so by going to the following link - https://www.venmo.com/u/Robert-Lightbown .
Thank you so very much in advance!!

Dear Mr Rob,
If no one has ever told you that you're an absolute Rockstar when it comes to forecasting the weather, then let me be the first to do so! Living in Webster, the only tv stations with local news & weather we get, are out of the Boston area, 1 in RI & wherever Spectrum news is from. They all pretty much forget about us when they do the weather. That leaves the weather channel with the closest area they have scrolling on the bottom of the screen. And that's limited info only. Don't get me started on how often they aren't even close to being accurate when snow is in the forecast! You are everything that they…
