  1. I always get happy with my quick 0.20” and then SNE racks up 1-2”+
  2. Idk…I mean I’m not a denier, but I’m not sure one image in time really points to anything. I’m sure you could find something like this in the past. I don’t exactly analyze wave numbers though.
  3. 6th over eastern europe? Which side are you on?
  4. If you don’t mind some downtime you could talk to Davis about a refurb. Send the whole thing in, they replace certain parts, and send it back. I may do that with my solar and UV sensors rather than pay $400 new not incl sipping. The fan problem is weird…never heard of that and I can’t quite visual what you mean. Another option for rain would be to try the Rainwise Rainew111 which is a NWS standard 8” diameter bucket. It has a larger tipping spoon too. You can wire it to a Davis cord and just plug it to the ISS like you would the Davis gauge. I have one and will get around to installing it one of these days.
  5. What’s the argument? 4 vs 5? Is someone arguing a rex block as a 5th?
  6. Outflow is running well out ahead of the line now.
  7. Internet has been out for over an hour. Down to 69.5°…rain ending now.
  8. That was a nice start. Got caught in the covered portion of the run in it…damnnn loud off the aluminum roof.
  9. Looks like a lot of 97/98 5 min obs. Maybe a puff of jet exhaust?
  10. 86/71 Pretty soupy. Expecting the middle portion of a 7/10 later.
  11. Ashes, ashes we all fall down
  12. Later is better for here. Should be active here around peak heating.
  13. 3 straight 70.0+ mins now…first time I’ve done that here in 15 years. Maybe it gets wiped out later today.
  14. BOS 99TR BDL 99R MHT 98R PVD 97R CON 96 PWM 96TR ORH 93
  15. Deck surfaces can get pretty hot
  16. Yeah I tossed that 118° due to likely radiation issues. Once that midlevel flow went easterly it was a pretty good downslope for the western slopes. Definitely an exptic setup where everything came together.
  17. I believe FEW is only 1-2 octas, SCT is 3-4, BKN is 5-7, and OVC is 8. So the ceilometer is scanning the sky in every direction/elev angle looking for clouds. So you could have an OVC layer overhead and north of the station with the south side clear and it may get reported as BKN even though there's no drop in insolation. You could also be FEW/SCT and have one Cu sitting right in front of the sun too. Then there's the CLR debacle where many ASOS ceilometers only report up to 12kft so in advance of systems you can get half a day's worth of CLR obs despite an OVC altostratus layer at 15kft and then suddenly it lowers enough and you go from CLR to OVC120 (12kft).
