Theobald-Schlaphoff’s
Congratulations to the Theobald-Schlaphoff family of Sherburn on recently winning the Family Heritage Award from the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities. The family has taken daily weather measurements for the National Weather Service as a Cooperative Weather Observer on their farm for two generations.
Beginning in 1966, the family provides daily measurements of temperatures, precipitation, snowfall, and snow depth as well as monthly updates of hourly precipitation data, which are a treasured part of Minnesota’s climate record. The Theobald-Schlaphoff family is a testament to the kind of dedication that can be found in many Martin County residents.
