neighbor has chickens. They have probably had 50 of them killed by raccoons, bear, fox, and coyote. the guy is a cop, and NH fish and game was not pleased when he shot and killed a bear that was attacking his coop. my house is like 300 yards away, and I have seen 1 bear (but plenty of bobcats and coyotes) in the time I’ve lived here.

Nobody lives on the tarmac silly chicken pee?

I think it is almost impossible for a homeowner to "properly" site their weather station. you can't have an all-in-one sensor and get the best of all parameters. for example, i didn't want to put mine in the middle of the back yard, simply because it would be a pain to be mowing around it. I could have it under trees, but would undercatch rainfall significantly, but could possibly get the most accurate temp. I don't care if I am off a couple of degrees in temp, as it gives me a general idea, and there are plenty of stations in my immediate vicinity, and i don't give a crap about wind (trees block it anyway). I did however want to get a semi-decent idea of rainfall. so mine is too close to the house, too close to the driveway, and in the middle of a garden. in other words, i am a contributor to the bad climate change data

that's crazy, I'm just west of MHT, what maybe 20 miles from Hashua? and I have <1.5"

beer for breakfast? lol I saw the earlier post and I was like WTF is this guy talking about-sprinkles???

85/72. disgusting.

and the chickens rejoiced!

severe drought.

what am I, like 40-50 miles south of you? picked up 1" the past 2 days, just over 3" for July.

a successful business means generating revenue. does not necessarily mean sound meteorology, which is Ray's point.

yeah, look at the extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme dewpoints! it feels so good, pouring rain with dews matching the temps. i sure hope DIT is outside enjoying this

I get it, and mostly understand it. my point is this: we are all weenies, hobbyists, and meteorologists here, so I'd say that this forum gets it. But what does the general public think that map means? i am sure more than one twitterologist has posted that map with no context.

what does this map even mean? Like, there is a slight ~15% chance that I get excessive rainfall? what is excessive? And yes I know it is going to rain just seems stupid to me

got pounded by that cell here at MHT. lots of thunder/lightning, and i don't know how much rain but it was dumping

Did daddy-o @CoastalWx lock you out of your house again?
