I can confirm that the first snowfall of the season is underway. Interestingly, as it began the temp rose from 32 to 34 where it is right now. However, part of my cement patio that does not get any sun is covered in white! Flakes are decent size, too. Let's see if I can make it to 1/2" by morning.

Nothing but 100% sunshine so far today. Unfortunately, my weather station is located in the shade because it is on the north-facing side of my home. From about a week ago the sun's progressively lowering angle keeps me in the shade the entire day. I won't go back to partial sun coverage until the end of January. Frustrating, but that's the layout of my property, which is the middle unit of 3 townhouses with a small back yard. Only option would be to put it up on my roof, which I would never do since the roof would contaminate the high temps anyway. All that to say it's only 59 now, but in the shade. I'm sure you could tack on 3 or 4 more degrees if it were in the sun. I can at least take solace that my low temperatures are accurate all year long.

Low this morning was 28.6. 39 here now with a dense overcast. There's been no sun yet today. I don't know about reaching 60.

Will do! I forgot to mention that I am actually on the barrier island, Hutchinson Island, sandwiched between the ocean and Indian River along A1A. I must say that the shoreline has really taken a horrific beating with erosion over the years. There's not much distance between land and water like there used to be years (decades) ago. Of course I realize that this issue is commonplace up and down the entire east coast of the US. From what I've heard, each coastal town is financially responsible for the upkeep and maintaining of its portion of the shoreline. Sadly, these towns simply do not have the budgets to do the necessary maintenance.

Hi Guys! I’m coming to you from Jensen Beach Florida where I arrived yesterday for my annual Florida vaca. Jensen Beach is just south of Port St. Lucie and about 40 miles north of West Palm Beach. Currently it’s cloudy with a temperature of 82 degrees and a light breeze. Will be down here until next Wednesday. I’m usually down here during the weekend where we return to standard time, which I love for all the same reasons several of you were also mentioning. As far as low temps back home, my low yesterday morning was 29 with a thick white coating of frost on all the car tops and grass. I was more amazed with this morning’s low of 25 degrees. I think the low forecast for this morning when I left yesterday was around 30. That’s it for now. Take care!

Did anyone have over 2.5" for this one? I ended the day (10/29) with 2.57" of rain. It just would not stop here. Heavy for much of the time.

I believe I was the jackpot winner with 35.6". Biggest single event of my lifetime. I assume you are talking about Jan'16 storm?

It continues to pour here with no letup. My last report I had 0.84". I've added almost another inch to the total at 1.76". Think I'll break 2" almost certain.

Today's conditions are reminiscent of Memorial Day. Rain, wind, and temps stuck near 50 degrees. Yuck! Anyway, it's 50.5 degrees here now and I've recorded 0.84" of rain so far with intensity now ranging between moderate to occasionally heavy. One thing I haven't seen many talking about was how dry the month of October has been, up until today. Through yesterday my month-to-date precip total was a meager 1.41". Looks like I might double that amount by tomorrow. >>Edit...one other thing I forgot to mention was that we are now less than 2mb away from 1000, and likely to go sub 1000 over the next few hours.

43.2 for my low this morning making it the coldest of the season. Previous coldest was 44.8 almost a month ago on September 24th.

At 8:40pm my temperature has only very slowly dropped to 75 degrees. The dewpoint is 68 degrees. High today was right when I made my earlier post back around 2:00pm which was 83.5 degrees. It looks like we're all going to go into shock when temps drop into the 40s tomorrow night with winds gusting to 25mph and wind chills are in the 30s. Sunday is pretty cold around here with highs only around 60 but with winds gusting to 25mph again. The A/C is on right now. I hear it humming outside. But it l most likely will need to turn the heat back on, if not Sunday morning then Monday morning almost for sure. I just wish the weather would be normal and we could enjoy the slow progression of temps downward. Other than 1 lonely sugar maple in my development which is nearly completely red leafed there are almost no other trees showing signs of fall. Maybe by Halloween the color peaks?

Wow! Temp with full sunshine is up to 83 degrees with an unbelievable dew point of 72 and heat index of 88! Please let this end soon. About to turn the A/C back on as it is up to 75.

I mentioned back on Tuesday that my low temp had remained at or above 64.0 degrees for two straight days. Well, incredibly, that streak has continued another two more days and we will break 100 hours above 64.0 in a few hours. My low this morning was 64.0. I can't ever remember it staying this warm at night for this many days in a row. Crazy!

Why, thank you for thinking of me. That bolded day is literally the day I was born! My mother used to tell me about how warm it had been in the days leading up to my birth. She went to the hospital not even wearing a light jacket.

Pretty unusual temps both yesterday morning and again this morning. The spread between daily high and daily low was less than 2 degrees until around 9:30am yesterday morning with the low of 64.8 and the high of 66.0. Then again this morning at 10:50am the current temp is 65.3. So far today the high since midnight has been 65.8 and the low 64.0. That spread is very unusual for this time of the year. Today is more dramatic with this spread of 1.8 degrees still ongoing near 11:00am. The morning lows of 64 for 2 consecutive days in a row is pretty amazing. Finally, I've remained at or above 64.0 degrees continuously since Sunday morning around 10:00am which is now 49 hours in duration and will likely continue until at least tonight I would think.

83.3 my high for today. After running the heat the past 3 mornings I had to switch back to A/C this afternoon as the heat index hit 88. Yuck! I was soooo enjoying the past 3 mornings. Hopefully that returns soon. >>PS...Unlike some of you around here I have absolutely no problem switching between A/C and heat at any time of the year...or in the case today...within the same day.

You're welcome! Glad I could help.

This is the Ambient 2902-C. It is actually the fourth iteration (generation) of the 2902. I own a first-gen 2902. Then came versions A, B, and finally C. All four versions use the same remote boom assembly. I'm not aware of any hardware changes Ambient made. There were firmware updates that came out that addressed minor issues with the console. The console's display layout remained the same for the first 3 generations. Version C has the totally rearranged new layout. I like it because they enlarged the wind display and put it in the upper left corner making it easier to see. One significant change was made with the model B when they introduced the ability to have the console receive the transmissions from up to 7 additional thermo/hygro sensors. The local console was unable to display that data from sensors 2>8. Instead the console, after receiving the wireless transmissions from the extra sensors, would upload those values to Ambient's weather servers (in real time, every 60 seconds) where you could view/access them through either your web browser or through a phone app. The extra sensors are very inexpensive and range in price between $10 to $15 apiece depending on quantity purchased. There are lots of things you can do with the extra sensors, like monitoring temp/humidity in any number of indoor locations. A few great locations are basements and attics. Then you could follow those readings in real time, remotely anywhere over any internet-connected device. I don't believe the local console gives any indication that it is receiving the additional sensor transmissions. Instead you will find out when you access your data from Ambient.Net. The mobile phone in the picture above is running the ambient weather app. One of the best features of this weather station is its ability to let you change the calibration of all the major data items which includes indoor and outdoor temp and humidity; barometer; wind direction and speed; rainfall. I'm not sure if the calibration can be changed on the supplemental thermo/hygro sensors 2>8. I strongly recommend this weather station as it is among the least expensive on the market and has remarkable accuracy across all parameters. @paweather...each of you would have the same model outdoor boom assembly. The difference is that @Voyager has the WS-2000 which has the exact same boom assembly, but an upgraded color LED display. With the WS-2000 I believe that display is capable of showing sensors 2>8 if you have them connected. I'm not certain about this so definitely check with Ambient customer service to confirm. @ItstrainingtimeForgive me, but I need to correct you on the temperature placement issue you mention. You actually want to do the exact opposite. The boom assembly is made specifically to be placed in full sun with minimal to no shade during the course of the day. The temperature/humidity sensor is housed in a multi-plated plastic enclosure called a radiation shield. If you want to follow NWS guidelines and take measurements exactly the same way that they do, you need full sun exposure. The ASOS stations are set up the same way, and so are the sensors in units all around the globe that adhere to the guidelines of the World Meteorological Organization. The NWS temperature and dew point sensors are all housed in the same type of radiation shield and are placed to receive 100% full sun for each day and never any shade. Furthermore, for the most accurate temp/humidity readings the boom assembly should be mounted exactly 2 meters above the ground. I understand the dilemma of the reduced wind readings because of how close to the ground the sensors are placed. The shield eliminates the warming effects of solar radiation while still allowing air to passively move through the shield, producing a reading that technically is in the shade while also in the sun at the same time. By placing your sensors in the shade you set yourself up for under-recording the maximum temperature every day. This is especially true on sunny days with little to no wind. The radiative effects are naturally minimized on days with sustained winds of >10 mph (approx). Finally, the UV and solar radiation measurements from the boom assembly are only accurate when the sun is shining on it. If you place your boom in the shade you will never have accurate UV and solar radiation readings during the daytime. @Bubbler86 >>See immediate post above<< ***please don't if you're a stickler for data accuracy. Temperature accuracy is more important than wind...imho.*** >>you've got it partly right<< My comments are not meant to be judgmental in any way. You can do whatever you want with your weather stations. I share this information only to help improve your station's data accuracy!

Matched your low perfectly here with 44.8 degrees at 5:18am. Fall has arrived!

Well it's just ending here now. Impressive totals and in perfect alignment with the NWS forecasted amounts of 3-5". I've had 3.28" since midnight along with 0.49" yesterday for a 2-day event total of 3.77". That brings my September total to 9.09" and year-to-date total of 35.37". I'm ready for the beautiful fall weather to make its appearance later today.

After about 3 hours of nothing the rain has begun again. It's been on and off all day here. I'm up to 0.47" for the total so far. Should be a very interesting next 12 hours. I can't wait for the gorgeous fall weather that is coming this weekend. Highs around 72 and lows around 48 are almost perfect.

Autumn is in the air. Temp 55.8 shortly before midnight with totally clear skies and calm winds. Forecast low is 53 which seems likely with 7 more hours of no sun. Maybe 50 here overnight?

Rainfall up to 0.20" already with heavy rain. Nothing extreme. Temp down to 69.4.

Hearing thunder now as a more solid line of thunderstorms move northeast and are now about 5 miles away. Getting progressively darker. Temp down from a high of 89.6 (so rounded up I hit 90, likely the last time for that until next spring...yay! Temp has dropped back down to 74.8 with dew point of 66.

Just hit the 4.00" mark as the back end progresses towards me. It has been breezy for sure and the temp is holding at 63.7 so it's kind of chilly/raw out. Carlisle was under a flood warning earlier. Not sure if it was just local roads. There are a few low lying roads that almost always flood over with any amount of heavy rain. Not sure I have enough intact records to go back in time to the last date I received 4 or more inches in a day. I don't recall having a day like this at all last year. Maybe others can chime in if they have any info on that.
