    I had the same with the vantage vue. When the sun hit it directly it would read about 2 degrees higher than when totally in the shade.

    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.

    It's super annoying that something like that isn't taken into account. I was 5 degrees warmer than everyone else for a few hours this morning. 

    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.

    Can’t even do leaves today with the ripping wind . Triggering 

    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.

    Remember when we used to get snow flurries by early November? Miss those days!

    My average first flakes date is 11/6 and average first measurable is 11/9...that said, the "Halloween" snowstorm in late October 2011 skews that average a bit.

    45  / 44  partly cloudy.  Should clear up to get mostly sunny with warmest at or low 60s.  Dry / cooler Mon - Wed before dealing withthe cutoff and system Thu (30th) it does look to dry up and perhaps clear out for fri.  Beyond there near - below normal the opening week with progression toward or above normal overall beyond there.

    The sun is just starting to peek through here, low of only 43 due to all the clouds, 45 currently.

    35 was the low here. Another year I couldn’t make it to Halloween without putting the heat on. Good day to put away some outdoor stuff with the possibility of some stormy weather mid to late next week.

    You broke! I broke down and turned on the upstairs zone. Most of my outdoor stuff is put away and gardens cut down, I have some chairs and two outdoor speakers left. I keep those two out there as long as possible and will sometimes hook them up for a day in nicer weekend weather during the winter. Leaves are at least 90% done here, just one more clean up for those.

    Lake effect rain doesn't have a ratio of a billion to 1 to fluff it up. Plus it's still kind of fake because you drive for 5 minuites and there's no rain and sunny skies. 

    Ah, you sound like you may suffer from FOMO :rambo:
