Thanks for another great report Nathan. Don’t you have a 4 inch cocorahs rain gauge you use? Comes in real handy when your automated gauge freezes over, and helps you get some of your snowfall data. I want complete data sets for my station so I supplement my VP2 data with rain and snow data I collect manually. You cannot get around that and you…[Read more]

Hi John. My friend Ray and I are wondering exactly what specific models of weather equipment you use to back up your Davis VP2 weather station. I know you have shown me the large outdoor Springfield thermometer that displayed -40 a while back, but that doesn’t record max/min temps for a given time period, usually in a 24 hour period. Do you have…[Read more]

Great article Jeff. Noticed that no mention was made of the incredibly cold month of January 1977. As far as I know, that was the month where the greatest Chesapeake Bay ice extent was experienced, and was written up by Joe Moyer who was the MD State Climatologist at the time, for the Mariners Weather Log. I remembered from my old stats that I had…[Read more]

Great report John. Hope you can enjoy your upcoming 3 dog night. Do you have 3 dogs at your disposal to use to keep warm? Are your local rivers finally frozen up tight? Ours have gotten that way the past few days, just in time for a big thaw, though we had a small ice storm on Monday in transition. Do you get a good feed on local NOAA weather…[Read more]
