I don’t even think we disagree? The instrumentation is accurate when sited and functioning properly and maintained. Unfortunately it’s a struggle to accomplish those things sometimes. Those Vaisala sensors have accuracy greater than 0.1C, but it doesn’t mean a lot if your siting doesn’t accurately represent the 2m temp. But we’ve called out bad ASOS data here a lot…CON, BOS, ORH, BDL, DAW…they’ve all had issues time to time. It’s usually easy to pick out the error on MADIS charts because most of them have a step change.

The warm push def cut into my 6-8. It was a mix of freezing mist and ice pellets this afternoon. Surface held up ok tho..we’ll see what tmrw brings. Glades still have a firm layer underneath, even after all the recent snow. .

What a crap day today. High of 79 and miserable.

PHNL was a joke from the get go. The siting was pure sand. Lots of manned obs were trash too. MHT ran too warm for years before ASOS. Lots of bad COOP data too. I think CON was on the side of a brick building in the 1800s. Wherever you look you can find bad obs in different eras. The ASOS temp is very accurate, but like any readings, it’s only as good as its siting and maintenance.

82 today and it was miserable.

The cell over Mclure has been a monster for some time. Still waiting on YouTube video and link confirmation from someone. -
Hit 52 today. Busted a bit low. We are in the doldrums for a while. March is my least favorite month

I just want rain. Just some wet weather. I don't need anything else. First storm dropped a whopping T here. Sigh. -

Snooze fest this evening. Was hoping for more action. Just some showers, and nothing too heavy here. Northern LV seems to have gotten some heavier showers. . -
Wow imagine if my April torch prediction from January actually pans out.

From a 50,000 foot view though, are they *all* wrong? There absolutely are going to be some instrumentation issues, siting issues, etc… but looking at the collective from afar, are they all wrong? Are mesonets and other climate recording sites that are deemed ok, showing conflicting data? What about sensors running too cold? Plenty of those too, but the focus here seems to be the warm ones… or is it just a general statement because of MSM latching onto the warm ones?

I didn’t think your area could even reach 90 on March 22. There are no guardrails anymore lol
-
AC definitely on. Not opening the windows. High of 90 at 4:43pm.

Went out to Annapolis today and it was amazing. 15 deg cooler along the water. Hancock low of 35 and High of 90 is crazy. We never get a diurnal of 55 degrees. I'm gonna have to take a look back and see when that last happened in the state.

So what would this mean asked google Gemini not really taking verbatim as to what they said with the photo I sent it .

Probably a good idea
