  • My apologies for posting a misleading statement in my Tuesday report. I did not mean to imply any sort of inaccuracy of my VP2 tipping bucket rain gauge. My friend Marty made the necessary repairs/fixes and […]

    • Harry, that’s a pretty dramatic lighthouse picture. Your weather looks about as bad as ours.

    • Greetings Harry! Thanks for your post. I sure have missed hearing from you about your daily station data and/or monthly summary for August. Are you having problems? I have had problems of late myself, with my station down most of the time the past week so I have not posted during that time till a brief report this past Tuesday the 18th. My friend Marty came over on Tuesday and installed a new VP2 circuit board and now so far I have been up and running ever since. Perhaps you are still having periodic internet connection issues as Nathan mentioned to me a few weeks ago.

      We recently endured quite a stormy spell here on much of the coast of the Eastern United States, particularly in the Carolinas from tropical system FLORENCE. As the remnant storm system was moving away from our area and out into the Atlantic I heard of forecasts of it maintaining some sort of circulation over the North Atlantic and possibly paying a visit to the British Isles. Have you heard any discussions of this on your side of the Big Pond? I always find it fascinating to follow those tropical systems from the United States area that make it to Europe in some form or other.

      Take care and hope to hear more from you soon,
      Kevin
