DesertWeather.com needs your help

Posted by John | 2 Comments

For 7 years now DesertWeather.com has grown into a site that provides a wealth of information to the community. The expense of running DesertWeather, and maintaining and expanding it, comes with costs! Those costs mostly came from my own pocket. As with most, times are a little tougher for me and I currently don’t have the funds available to replace the weather server that failed on October 18th with a machine that is capable of supplying DesertWeather.com with the full feature set it had before the failure!

If you can help please consider making a donation via Paypal with the form below. No amount is too little, any helps! Your donation will be solely used to purchase an up to date server that will replace the failing one and take DesertWeather.com into the years to come.

Thank you,
John Slama

Excellent photography of areas in and around the Coachella Valley. DesertWeather would like to take this opportunity to thank Jim and his site, California Desert Destinations, for supporting us!  Jim was one of the first, years ago, to visit and give ideas to DesertWeather. He is an avid photographer and a great one at that.
