Where can I find a list of snow fall recording stations in my zip code? Where can I find the locations on snow fall recording stations in a particular United States county or zip code? Is there a way that I can find an hour by hour recent history of snow fall? Hour by hour for the last 7 days would be interesting but even the last 24 hours would be very helpful. I need to to know where and when to dispatch crews to remove snow from office and apartment buildings, often in the middle of the night when I don't have eyes on the ground.

I may have to resort to installing web cams so I can personally review the conditions remotely.  The lake level stations are so accurate and easily accessible, I thought they might have sometime for precipitation as well.

I would prefer reports in inches of precipitation rather than inches of snow, but either would work. I find the former to be more accurate for my needs. It's the amount of water that needs to me moved that matters, no matter if it is densely packed or loosely packed.
Were to find hourly data will depend on your location, as you will probably need to access the national weather network of the country of your interest. Global climatic databases usually record data on daily basis. Like the Global Historical Climate Network, you can search for all the station in that network and query snowfall data in the KNMI Climate Explorer. This is a example query of all the stations between 50 and 51° North and 120 and 122° West (to convert ZIP codes to coordinates you can use geocoder or other similar services):



It returns 39 stations, each one with a record like this:



And you can also download the raw data.
