This is all so very true. Still...Tucker is in another class. The guy is special.

Only thing I can say is he's on my fantasy team. And that...is why.

Wow...glad I have Tucker on my fantasy team.

Jesus...

Hard to see this team winning anything within the division at this point. Hopefully; as you said, calls for a front end loaded winter materialize...

This is the Steelers team I expected and led me to my 6-11 prediction. Which might be too optimistic.

Spectacular Sunday...Sunny with a fair weather cumulus and a refreshing breeze. 73 degrees. #itdoesntgetmuchbetterthanthis

If I'm finished for the year, I recorded 45 days at or above 90 here, with 51 mornings where I stayed at or above 70. I'm a little more convinced I won't see 90 again than I'll see another night above 70. Shoot, Christmas Eve a few years ago I didn't get below 63 one night.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that...reinforcing front leading to what should be a gorgeous Sunday!

While you were correct, fact is, Villanova completely controlled the line of scrimmage. For much of the game Penn State could not run the ball AT ALL. Clifford was protected fairly well early on in the passing game but PSU's front line never got a push. It was sideways/backwards all day. Being a one-dimensional offense will not end well as they get into the meat of the schedule. Today was sort of a wake up call. Not to mention...Auburn is trailing the Georgia State Panthers in the 4th quarter...at Jordan Hare...so last week's win looks a little more tainted.

Mostly sunny and 76.

It's gotten cloudy here and temps have leveled off. 74 now.

Save for 3-4 big plays, PSU is being manhandled on the line of scrimmage by Villanova.

Sunny and 75. Seems to be yet another significant overperformer with temps today.

Sunny and 71 at noon.

@CarlislePaWx- thank you very much for all of the information. I appreciate it. Admittedly, when I installed it I mostly relied on my own (flawed) reasoning.

Mine does...

I sacrificed the wind to get the accurate temp reading. My station is only about 20' behind my house...but it's fully shaded save for a very brief period of time in the early evening when the high for the day has usually occurred anyway.

@paweather - I think you'll end up pleased with your investment. Not sure what you've had to this point, but getting a weather station several years ago really upped my appreciation for weather events. It's "fun" tracking rain now...beyond total amount, you can now get accurate rates per hour, per event, per day, etc. Same thing with temperatures...again, keep the sensor in the shade as much as you can.

There's really nothing to "put together" - you'll want to consider buying 2 additional things however. I bought a 10' wooden post at Home Depot and sunk that a few feet into the ground. I also ordered a piece of steel pipe directly from Ambient. I clamped that to the wooden post, then mounted the station itself off the pipe. If you go to YouTube and search the Ambient Station, you'll find videos on how different people installed there stations. You'll need to find what works best for you. Just remember to try and find an area out of direct sunlight (obviously) yet as far away from structures as you can get...and the higher, the better to get some accuracy in wind speed. My yard does not allow that, I knew going in that was a sacrifice I would need to make. My station is between 10 and 15' off the ground. Ideally you'd want it a little higher, again, that's for the wind aspect.

@paweatherI think @Voyagerhas the same one that I do.

That's the one...though my rain gauge was showing 3.51" yesterday since midnight.

You said it...

How much do you want to spend? I have the Ambient 2902 - you can get it for less than $200. It's simple to install and provides everything that I would want. And it's accurate too.

Given Canderson's report, it definitely gives pause when considering what MDT reported. On the flipside, all of the Coop reports were completely in line with what I reported. (Including Middletown and Harrisburg) As you said, it's a big mess and at this point...it's going to remain that way. 14.69" is my official monthly total. Period.
