Good to see the Fresh Kills ( Staten Island) station is at ground level... The mesonet installed a few years ago at the college is on the roof which made it kind of a waste imo... as mentioned usually too cool during daytime and too warm at night, along with useless snow depth measurments.
For you hot weather lovers... Today in 2002 marked the first day of an amazing 4 day mid April heat wave..High temps at my station reached 91, 96, 91 and 91 degrees from the 16th thru the 19th.
