Much more like what the Delmarva used to get 20-30 years ago and earlier. I was mostly commenting on the better rainfall this summer up here. Last summer was the 5th driest on record in my new area. So everything was brown. Much greener looking this summer. Are you still near the Poconos?

When I set up my Ambient WS-2000 and Ecowitt HP2584 weather stations I had to find the exact lat long and elevation and it came up with 1531 ft but I think that's wrong because it underdoes my Barometric pressure. I had to adjust it upward by about 0.05 inches on both units. If you have an easier way for me to calculate my exact elevation I'd appreciate it Chris. Here are the two numbers I used. Absolute air pressure 28.55 inches Relative air pressure 30.08 inches Is the low absolute air pressure the reason I dont feel the Florida type humidity up here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago 27 minutes ago, TWCCraig said: 85/78/99 here I've been growing 3 different types of palm since 2017. Needle palm and Sabal Minor dont grow into trees but they are cold tolerant enough to survive our winters completely unprotected. I had some defoliation with this past winter being as harsh as it was but they survived and are growing back well this summer. I also have a Windmill palm which does grow a trunk. You would need to have some protection from the coldest days in the winter for a Windmill palm, but the vast majority of the time you could leave them unprotected. It's truly amazing being able to look out the window when it's 20 degrees outside, everything is dead and brown but the palm trees stay green like evergreens. Wish more people knew they can grow here Wow, I grow all three species too, but mine are in pots. I bring them inside if lows are forecasted to be in the low 20’s since pots freeze much faster than the ground, but they spend most of the winter outside. My Windmill is about 6 feet tall so it’s becoming a hassle. I’ve grown more than a dozen other palm species but these 3 are far and away the most rugged, even outside of winter. I too wish they’d catch on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1999 for example there was a water emergency in the Poconos. There are water restrictions this year down in the valley cities but it's only because there has been too much rain which has caused sediments to run off into the reservoirs. Nothing for me to worry about because all my water comes from a well. I would use 1971-2000 annual rainfall totals to calculate averages because rainfall became excessive after that Chris.

I just got an Ecowitt HP2584 a few weeks ago after my Ambient WS2902 died after 8 years, I had a headache trying to find my exact elevation too. Do you find the piezoelectric rain gauge to be accurate? 90/80/107 here now. Crazy how 80-degree dews have become so normal over the past decade or so, I don’t even count them anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find the piezoelectric rain gauge to be accurate? It's not very accurate unfortunately I grade it a C- on rainfall but an A on temperature. That's why I also have the WS-2000 which uses the same sensor as your WS-2902. And a backup magnified Acurite rain gage to backup both units lol. Is the sensor array what died on your unit? You can get a backup sensor unit for it and also one for the HP2584. For the WS-2902/2000 a replacement sensor array is 140 and for the HP2584 it's 155 both on Walmart. That's where I got both weather stations from and where I plan to buy backup units for both from because i have no idea how the winters up here will affect them. Did you know the HP2584 sensor array can be powered by electric outlet? I just dont know where to get the adapter from that plugs into the cord attached to the sensor array. Incidentally the haptic wind sensor is way more accurate than the one with moving cups we have on our Ambient units. I would post pictures of both set ups but there is a very low upload limit on here and I dont know how to resize pictures from a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now imagine how bad that drought would have been if Floyd didn't happen. 1998-2002 would have been a historic drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
