Have operated home weather station for over 35 years with records going back to 1977... Current equipment includes Vantage pro, Nimbus digital thermometer, standard nws rain gage, to name a few.
-
0.29" here overnight... Pretty good considering.
-
Hope so...it seems every system coming up from the south has high pressure building down from the north at the same time, suppressing it...just bad timing or what?
-
By "wireless" we mean the connection between the outside unit and the inside console. The console is still powered by AC with battery backup.
-
Yes me also. Had Davis equipment back in the 90's before the vantage pro came out. Also had a heathkit thermometer which I built with my dad probably 45 years ago.
-
Remember the old days Rob of installing weather equipment...no wireless yet...running wires, drilling holes in the house to get the wires to the inside unit. I've had an anemometer up on the roof for as long as I can remember... luckily it's a ranch home so not too high... don't think I can go up there anymore so hoping it continues to work well.

I'm 65 now....I have written records that began uninterrupted when I was 13. I think ive been doing this since maybe 10 years of age or maybe younger. Come to my house and see all my weather equipment I've purchased over the decades...my basement looks like a weather museum lol.

That's from my station on si.

My precip here from 9/1/24 to present is 35.50"... Normal for that period is around 55.50" so a -20" departure . Btw had 0.05" last night.

Would just be a continuation of every event underperforming, if it does turn out that way. Been going on for awhile now .
