How does AWOS keep the people of Iowa happy?

Here in Georgia the local TV stations use the AWOS reports
of the various airports to provide temperature and dewpoint
and baro readings from towns around in the region. I assume
its the same in most, if not all of the states.

The people may not know it, but they do get regional weather
information for AWOS/ASOS.

They keep me *very* happy, but I suspect most Iowans have no idea that
AWOS even exists.

As I stated, most people who aren't into aviation (other than
the news media) probably don't have a clue.
