24.3° for the low this morning. Just about done with this nonsense.

67.3° high off of a 25.2° low this morning. 42.1° is a pretty healthy swing. Finally brought out the deck furniture today - just in time to see how close I get to the 20° mark Thursday morning.

66.7° here! Last of the snow piles in the neighborhood just about gone.

25.2F this morning. Neighbors at 1100 ft are above 30F, haha.

Avoided frost this morning. Had an impressive temperature jump around midnight as some warmer air over my head managed to mix down. Went from around 32° to 38° in only about 15-20 minutes. Never quite made it below freezing this morning as a result. Check out the graph.

Temp dropping fast here. 10pm and already down to 32.4°

High of 64.4° off of a low of 29.3° this morning. More progress on the barn. I've decided to call this style of construction, "fauxst and beam".

18z GFS for your amusement.

Not sure when it happened (within the last few days), but noticed a big hemlock cracked open over the river when I went down there earlier today.

Weather has sucked for this project so far, lol. But here's an update. More hands to help eventually. Fark me - just glacially slow.

One reason relates to why stars will "twinkle" at night, while some of the planets do not. (See link)-> https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/twinkle.html Just before the Sun is totally eclipsed, many of the same optical properties apply, thus allowing one to see atmospheric perturbations.

True, but on a clear day with the sun overhead, you get a fairly good representation of how it looks. The Sun's photosphere is around 5700k, and to make a comparison to lightbulbs, most at that temp/color are described as "cool white" or something similar. So if you were in space, the sun would appear white.

To get photos like the above you need to use a complex filter setup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen-alpha#Filter This is going to sound trite, but if you want to know what the sun really looks like, step outside and look at it.

I can't tell if your camera isn't level or if you have a slope to your lawn that compounds wide angle lens distortion.

Gorgeous day, lottsa snowmelt. Touched 64.6° earlier this afternoon, but then a bunch of clouds rolled in or something? Does anyone know anything about that?
