I guess that’s where I got caught up.  They are correct for sampling 2-meter wind speed.   They are just boring; like that’s the speed the wind is 6 feet above your yard. Same with temperature. We don’t like that and want to sample the free air above treetop exposed wind because it’s more sexy.

The one part of it I can square is that the force that would cause tree damage is the wind at canopy top level.  Like knowing what wind speed at that 80-100 foot level above ground starts tree damage would be important.

It’s sort of like tarmac temps/winds vs wooded area temps/winds.  Pros and cons to both sitings.

The weenie set up is temp close to ground and wind 100 feet overhead.  

Not alot of people have an ideal choice of placement for a weather station (myself included).

Calling out others based on your own bad placement is lame.

Better than most . You've had consistent winds.

.70 through the gage so far.

Huge difference in rain between here and Uconn or even Wilington. Over 2” those spots and .68 here

Pretty intense band coming through PVD again. Wish I had a rain gauge. We’ve got to be well over 3” for the event so far. Maybe pushing 4”.

0.47 so far here

What storm?

[Brian5671]

can really hear the roar of the wind off the deck-maybe 500-1000 feet up

Looks like about 2.7” here.

Theres a reason a lot of folks just like to use ASOS and official stations, ha.  

[Brewbeer]

posting actual station obs would make the hype seem like hype

My kingdom to see this radar in 4 months with fresh cold in place. Jesus.

A few stray sprinkles here, I assume you haven’t had much more. If this were a winter storm I’d be bawling.

I haven’t had any precip, sky cover wasn’t even thick at sunset, ha.

Thank god it’s not winter; this would’ve been tough.  Instead, decent weekend outside so far.

Best gust of the storm so far. Just roaring through the trees and whistling through the eaves.
