Activity

I am having different problems tonight. Problems I have had occasionally in the past. I have a lot to do tonight so I need this additional aggravation like a hole in my
head. So I am starting this report elsewhere on weather together, and hope you all can find and read it. My apologies for all the confusion. Bigger computer changes
are ahead, and this variable “style” so to speak will unfortunately be more common during the next few weeks.

Cloudy, a bit cooler, small diurnal range, a bit of light mid-day rain, update for Monday, December 2, 2019 for West Rockville Maryland

There was 0.04 inches of precipitation on Monday. My December monthly total precipitation so far is 0.43 inches.

My seasonal total snowfall so far is a trace. The year-to-date precipitation total is 43.54 inches.

My current downstairs station data is now showing regularly on Weather Underground. My data is posted there every 5 minutes. My ID is KMDROCKV200 and my station is called Gardens of Traville. Data is online, available in real-time as it is being updated on a 5 minute interval. The web address for my data on weather underground is: (station data link (activity feed won’t let me post a URL here in the message screen).

I contribute my precipitation data daily to CoCoRaHS as Rockville 2.8 WNW, Station ID MD-MG-115 and can be found on the web at (cocorahs webpage).

Please remember that my Weather Underground precipitation data reflects what is recorded automatically through the tipping bucket VP2 gauge, just as it does on WxLink 2.0. The tipping bucket has been producing erratic values on most days (when I have had rain that is) so should not be used except for general precipitation timing.

I actually use the data I post to CoCoRaHS from my 4 inch CoCoRaHS gauge I read manually as my official precipitation total each day.

Monday was a sleepy day for the most part. I did catch some of the exciting Seahawks 37 Vikings 30 MNF game. I ate more leftovers for dinner after my usual bowl of cereal and banana. No coffee today. My sister and my brother-in-law flew to Las Vegas today to visit Robin and Gideon, and they all face-time called me in the latter stages of the evening, after they landed in the early evening and had dinner at PF Changs where Robin regularly works as a server/trainer. It was great to interact with all of them, but of course Gideon stole the show! lol

Clouds kind of hung around on Tuesday, with light snow falling in the area in spots in the late evening.  Temps rose up into the mid 40s after lows in the mid 30s.

Partly to mostly sunny days Wednesday through Saturday with highs mostly in the 40s and lows in the 20s and dry. 

At Midnight Tuesday, cloudy skies with a temperature of 37.8 degrees, relative humidity 75%, pressure falling at 29.71 inches with a dew point temperature of 31 degrees.

Good very early Wednesday morning from the walrus on this cloudy overnight Tuesday.  (No images today)
