I have yet to get one. Haven't been able to, and I see people have trouble with them in general these days in the reviews. Tell me how it goes with your new purchase.

First one worked flawlessly for 10 years until the dewpoint sensor went wacky.

Retired my old Davis Vantage Vue after 10 years of hard service in this climate. Just put its replacement up.

Anyone else notice how the air is unusually fragrant lately with all the humidity and rain?  Both good smells and bad smells are really strong.

Probably COVID nose.  It messes up your sense of smell.

Cut off low this weekend is going to really screw places east of Wisconsin.

Attention now turns to late this week. SPC:

Will these days provide any quality chase setups in the form of discrete supercells producing visible in the 22-01Z timeframe? Given the way this year has gone, the smart money is on "fat chance" but I haven't really looked at any model data yet. Probably still too early for it to be of much help pinning down things like storm mode/timing, anyway.

Wisconsin is a tornado wasteland since about 2005.  I remember when Dodge and Fond du Lac counties would always light up with warnings.

You click in the middle of the lake?

Putting on good size.

Been a tough year keeping my tropicals and bentgrass lawn happy.

Rumor has it this would bring an end to the drought for some.

I know the P.1 variant (Brazil) has shown more of an ability to reinfect people who previously had covid.  That variant has not really taken off in a big way in the US so far though.  Personally I don't think "I already had covid" is a solid reason to never get the vaccine, but for people who had covid, maybe delaying it is warranted.
As far as overweight people, I think we have to separate this out.  If you're massively obese (I'm talking like 300-400 pounds), there's not much of an excuse for that.  I don't care if you're poor and only have access to crappy quality food.  You're not going to get to that level unless you're frequently in a huge calorie surplus.  A lot more people are moderately overweight, and for some of them, it's not so easy to drop the pounds for various reasons.

Yeah, but do you hear about overweight people under 40 dying from the flu all the time?

Wow. These low dews are something else. I’m having to water my tropicals twice a day.

Incoming blowtorch.  No relief in sight.  Tropical weather commence.

Anyone know a GFS sample output site similar to wxweb.meteostar.com/sample ?  Looks like they shut down and I like the tabulated data it had.

Site goes offline May 19... anyone have another site that tabulates the GFS data like this?  I hate clicking through multiple graphics to see all the data.

I guess there are no alternatives?  Likewise I use this site almost daily.

I do too.  I don't like clicking through multiple panels of graphics.  There has to be an alternative out there somewhere... anyone??

Lock it in. Southern Wisconsin snowmageddon. We get more snow in April/May than we do December. Gotta love climate change.

This will ruin my Vitamin D intake.  Sad

The trend is our friend. Lock it in. Milwaukee special coming ala May 10, 1990.

Becoming more likely. Discuss.

Last week I had a female friend who was healthy and just 35 years old pass away from Covid after a short one week battle.  She wore a mask, did the right things, kept a balance between being locked down and living life.  It really hits home.  While I find so much non-science driving lockdown and restrictions, I just don't get not wanting a vaccine.  

Sorry for your loss.  Curious though as to what her vitamin D levels were... along with was she doing any vitamin C, zinc, quercetin or melatonin supplementation?

Think Orwell had something to say about those who control the past...
Frankly, storage these days is so cheap that there is no excuse for deleting data. Anyone who does so should be suspected of ulterior motives.

Anyone know a GFS sample output site similar to wxweb.meteostar.com/sample ?  Looks like they shut down and I like the tabulated data it had.

Been using this site for years (over a decade?) and I see its being decommissioned.  Any other comparable sites that tabulate all the GFS data out to 15 days? 

As now displayed on wxweb.meteostar.com/sample

The average for Minneapolis looks to be 88 snow cover days per season (1"+).  The record is 137 days set twice, in 1964-65 and 2000-01. The record least amount is 26 days in 1930-31.
 
At Chicago the average snow cover days per season is 43. The record is 98 days set in 1978-79 and the record low is 9 days set in 1948-49.
 
At Detroit the average snow cover days per season is 50. The record is 96 days set in 2013-14 and the record low is 10 days set in 1936-37.
 
 Note that these are days with 1" or more of snow cover. This does not include days where trace of snow cover is reported, which adds quite a few additional days for each location per season

Without even looking at a prog, you will be right 99 times out of 100 if you bet against a repeat of March 2012.
