I have been watching very closely as I live off CO43 NE of Glen Haven. Unfortunately I think this burns until snow. Too much beetle kill and very rugged terrain. They are going to let it burn on the ESE side and make a stand at Pingree Road near CSU'S mountain campus. That is uncomfortably close.

I have an Accurite and it does a decent job. My only complaint is that the batteries seem to need replacing 2x per year. I have my eye on a Davis too, as my Accurite is getting pretty weathered and I would love some expandable bells and whistles.

Yeah, today has been a bust for most areas north. Congrats on the new station! What model did you get?

I really can't complain about how July ended and August started up here. 4 days in a row now of good storms. Logged another .12" late last evening. Today looks to have potential for some heavier rain.

Three good storms have rolled thru here this evening. The 3rd is still ongoing with very frequent cloud to ground lightning, and I am showing .61" inches so far for the day. It has been three days in a row of decent precip up here.

Finally! We had a very nice storm roll thru around 615pm this evening. My guage logged .3" in less than 15 minutes. Not a huge total, but I will take it.

Cool, glad you finally got to see it. It has dimmed quite a bit over the past two days. Even out here in my dark skies, last night I had to use averted vision to find it.

If you guys haven't had a chance to look at the comet, you should. I saw it last week in the morning, and again over the past couple of days after sunset. Last night, it was just dipping below the mountains at 10:25pm so it is rapidly getting higher in the evening sky. The tail is much more elongated compared to the day prior, but that may be a byproduct of the fact that it was still visible once the sky turned darker. It was very easily seen naked eye, at least from up here with the reasonably dark skies, and very impressive in field binoculars.

I think on Sunday, but could be off by a day.

From a buddy up here in Estes of the comet Neowise. Photo was taken at 4:15am looking northeast, preceding the sun and roughly along the ecliptic. He reported that it is very naked eye visible, and noted that it was washed out by the sun around 4:45am.

Agreed, and they went commercial free for a very long time. Great job TWC. Thank you for not airing the "weather for the wedding" or some other bs. Bad, bad, bad - Fox and CNN.
