Yup - 49 here ivo Vienna.... Feels great outside

Indeed. And the older you get the faster the seasons change. (I'm in my 7th decade now). It's hard to imagine Sept is nearly behind us already. It sucks getting old but its better than the option (tic) Lost track of the banter about whether they are going to "fall back" this year. Hope we keep the daylight as is.

Thanks for the replies. Appreciate it.

Looked all over the Mid-Atlantic forum, plus the Marketplace forum on the main AMX home page. This appears to be the most recent thread about WX stations. Looking to replace my Davis Vantage Vue. It's performed "ok" for 10+ years now. I'm on the 3rd solar array, the rain gauge has a tendency to collect debris and malfunction, and the overall appearance is dated, especially the display. Looked at the Ambient line of stations online. Considering the WS=2000, 4000 (is the ultrasonic good? more reliable?) or maybe even the 5000 (not sure it's worth the $$$). Saw the Ambient line offers wifi with connectivity to AWN (Ambient Weather Network) and ability to receive data on a smartphone via an app. Is a subscription required to remote the data to a smart phone? Not really interested in having to manage another subscription - have so many already. Welcome input from anyone who cares to share. R

Heard the pouring earlier - managed to pickup 0.73" Not bad...

Here you go neighbor... posted this in the Discobs thread too. Intense. 2026 09 03 - Inbound Electrified Storm.MOV

One of the more electrified storms in our area for a while... 2026 09 03 - Inbound Electrified Storm.MOV

We got a good hit this time - unlike several other misses recently where the split was in true form. Managed to get 0.97" from the 20+ min deluge. Needed it with the heat inbound the next few days. The ground was rock hard again.

Lucked out here with this one .84" Most we've had in this immediate area for a while...

Odd - hearing a regular bout of thunder rumble from the inbound system approaching NOVA. But the Lightening app shows only a few hits out by Winchester and more to the SW. Wonder if there isn't a bug in the app and/or some sensors that are down?

Yup - it was almost constant for a few minutes, but we got split yet again. Received a whopping .22" from this one.

A quick .52" already here and it's still pouring... Slow moving cells.

Got a good dose with the last round. 1.39" so far for the day. That's the most in what seems like forever...

Congrats. You got the brunt of the heaviest slug (very high-tech weather terms there). We got the fringe here ivo Vienna - .21" so far.

Beat me by 0.12" Not even a trace here... again...
