To download and save CoCoRaHS stations data for a different state (specified by the two-character state code), the following command is issued:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt --state CO data > data.csv

To download and save CoCoRaHS stations data for a different state (specified by the two-character state code) and in a different output format, the following command is issued:
