HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Heavy snow again---probably close to an inch on the ground, but it's really tought to tell with so much blowing. Nice suprise ending to the torch. 25.7/24 Nice way to forget about the 1 day torch. Fluffy, big dendrites too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Nice way to forget about the 1 day torch. Fluffy, big dendrites too. Sure is, Chris. I was in Shelburne Falls this afternoon--they still have close to 100% coverage--and a couple inches at that. I was wondering if you might have the same since you're tucked in along the Green. Now, the stars are out again. Fun day and night--constantly changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything covered from tonights surprise snow. Stars are out then a good gust comes and there will be a few minutes of clouds and -sn. Interesting week of weather.

I see the winds gusted up to 117 on the rock pile. Not too shabby. edit: snowing again, ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Any other less expensive weather stations you would recommend? Even something that just has accurate temp/dew readings...

joey2002 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 If you want some what accurate dew point plan on spending over a hundred. Maybe LaCrosse or Accurite? Why is it so hard to get one with an accurate dew point? Any idea how good this Ambient Weather Station is? http://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-WS-1171-Temperature-Barometer/dp/B003OSSH9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359689212&sr=8-1&keywords=weather+station+dew+point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of the ones that do don't allow you to read DP only, they switch between DP and WC depending on the outside temperature. There are defintely some non-Davis stations that have seperate DP readings, do your research and then check Amazon, Ebay or CL. I had an Accurite that was right on with DP but the remote sensor fried after 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Any other less expensive weather stations you would recommend? Even something that just has accurate temp/dew readings...Unfortunately I find it's you get what you pay for until you get to the Davis price range. Siting and sheltering the equipment imo is just as important as the accuracy of the sensor. I'd always recommend fan aspiration for the most accurate and responsive readings too. There are some other options with 1-wire if you want to do some DIY, but you need to put in the 1-wire research. What's your price limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional Lurker Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Wow, just drove home from hatfield to bernardston. Crazy lake streamer in Greenfield. I'd say easilly 1"+ per hour snows, simply dumping. Funny to go from no snow to an inch otg in like 2 miles. Heavy dusting at home. Hopefully that band lingers and the b'east can get a few inches of white gold. No doubt they need all they can get after yesterday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not sure if I can afford the price of a Davis, but I wonder if it might be worth it in the long run. Thanks so much for all the info and advice, it's much appreciated.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Out of town so I missed yesterday AMs excitement...but I see my area jackpotted with 70-75 mph gusts. Hope to not come home to a disaster in the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
