If you want to trust the Euro snow map a week out (one can't), those of us in Orange County will have some shoveling to do.

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.

La, la lock…

How’s it looking now?

November 2025 general discussions and probable topic derailings ...

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. -
Meh, anyone get 5”+? Sounds like a bust to me…
-
1.50"
-
1.38" with 3.60" for the month.
-
1.32" now and that line, which isn't as bad up here, has moved through.
-
1.15" as of 3:20pm

Good point. On that note, my latest first flakes was 12/4/06 with latest measurable 1/19/07.
-
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.

Well then you lead a charmed life. Enjoy it and for the love of god, move on from the constant whining about the freaking sunset already.

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

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.
-
For anyone who may have saw the observation, I promise you all it’s not snowing at KMGJ, just frost, looks like the low will be 34 here.

Ah, you sound like you may suffer from FOMO

Do the weenies that call it fake snow in winter call today’s lake effect fake rain?
-
.45", 2.22" for the month.
-
.45", might add another hundredth or two with the last light showers about to move through.

Once stations got wireless I got much more interested in getting my own station, plus where I was in life at the time. I do remember putting my old Weather Monitor II on two different roofs in the late 90's and early 00's, not the best move to have the entire station up there but live and learn. Its much easier all around now. I remember you giving me pointers on how to connect to my computer and then that got even easier with the Davis WeatherLink Live.

Same as Don, from my weather station, I've had one for 25+ years, on my third station now. I kept general weather notes going back longer that that but got more detailed with my observations 20 years ago. It seemed kinda pointless at times in the beginning, many will say its pointless now but I find it interesting to look back now that there is a decent chunk or information to look at.

I'm at .21", the occasional shower still rotating through up here.
