IT'S GIVE BOREAL FUND RAISING WEEK!
Lots of our users like Boreal's Comprehensive Weather coverage. We live in a region that depends on accurate regional National Weather Service forecasts - updated twice daily 365 days a year. Five weather stations report current conditions in various locations around Cook County.
We bring you School Closing information. Storm Warnings. Fire Danger Forecasts. These all all reasons people depend on Boreal 24/7 every day of the year.
We depend on your community financial support. Once a year, we ask Community Members make their donations to non-profit public media from Boreal Community Media.

This fall we are asking our users to tell us What I like about you? Here's what Boreal believers have said they like about our service.
David Hahn, Hovland Resident:
"I have been using Boreal every day since moving to Hovland from Minneapolis in 2001. The daily weather predictions, including school closings are helpful especially on winter mornings for a foster grandparent. The School Board meeting coverage is also very informative. Boreal has kept Cook County residents in touch with e-mail messages of citizen needs such as lost pets, rides and sale items. Thanks Boreal for a job well done."
