IrishRob17 Posted October 18 Author Share Posted October 18 14 minutes ago, FPizz said: If it was 29.4, would you round to 29? Just wondering. I feel like with temps we have a real # and no need to ever round. Yes, when rounding numbers one goes down in that case. I track my readings consistently with traditional NWS reporting methods. Perhaps that is changing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have 1.6" of snow, it stays at 1.6". Its probably just a me thing I think it bothers me most with 90° days. If I dont see my temp starting with a 9, I didnt hit 90 haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point on snowfall measurements. I wonder if it may change for temps as I see now at least at KMGJ that when you look at the three days history they do now show temp readings to the tenth.

I track my readings consistently with traditional NWS reporting methods. Perhaps that is changing? Not sure what the NWS standard is, but if n.5°, I round to the even number, otherwise up or down. But I'll often record a comment, such as min 32.5°. My sensor is pretty close, but within .1°F might be a tad optimistic. Autumns are a tad subtropical here due to the closeness of the LI Sound. This morning's low was 36° (36.5°). Some interior parts of Suffolk were in the mid to upper 20s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxEngine Posted Sunday at 11:01 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:01 AM Looks like we dipped to 30 again. The entire state has fairly uniform temps this morning (with the obvious warm and cold usual exceptions). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted Sunday at 11:27 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 11:27 AM 28° (27.7°) for the low again, been below freezing since around 1am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted Sunday at 12:01 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:01 PM First hard freeze of the season this morning for me, 28.4 so barely but still official. First frost October 7, first freeze October 17 and hard freeze October 25, all pretty well spread out this season, at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago This dry spell came at a great time for the foliage. Sure the wind blows plenty down but I find the rain is just as bad if not worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted 12 minutes ago Share Posted 12 minutes ago It has been a near perfect foliage season. Even without any rain the ground isn't really drying out and, strangely, a few light freezes hasn't ended the growing season. I'm amazed at how healthy and deep green my front "lawn" is.
