Agreed, the photos issue is also triggering now that it's almost 2026. The links work, didn't realize your lawn looked so bad, good luck with that.
I kid, I kid, looking good.
Welcome! If you're a football fan, how do you like Bill? My guess is that since you were not up here for the very snowy period that some here grew up with and thought was the new normal, you won't be disappointed especially when you compare a winter here with those further south.
In my case I was born and lived in New Hampshire as a young child, love keeping tabs on New England weather, especially northern New England. When I retire there's a decent chance I'll become a local again.
Down here just under 200 miles to your SW, .33 overnight and clearing rapidly moving in to shed sunlight on the bare trees and cleaned up yard, yesterday was final cleanup for me, 44/43 now.
Interesting, I don't recall the moderate freeze. FWIW the NWS defines a hard freeze at 28 according to this link. A freeze is still 32 degrees believe it or not...https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=freeze
With the Vue I also noticed that issue common with home weather stations where it downpours the rain totals were a bit high. Did you notice that at all? Both those issues were annoying to me so I saved up and got the Davis Vantage Pro2 and haven looked back since both those issues went away. As a result, there’s a period of 6 or so years in my records where I have to take the high temps I recorded with a grain of salt, it’s evident in my records. 32 for the low here earlier, 34 now under gray skies.
I had a similar issue with the Davis Vantage Vue, maybe 2-3 degrees higher under certain sunny conditions. It had the shield but it was small and not fan aspirated.
I did leaves for the last time this season in the wind yesterday afternoon. For the most part it worked in my favor thanks to the wind direction except when I got on the leeward side of the house where I was triggered a couple times LOL. That said, it’s always interesting to me how out in the open you have the prevailing wind and then every now and then you get a close to an opposite wind direction, which is also triggering.
