I've had my VP2 since 2011. Works great. The only problem is that once you have it, you want to keep enhancing it. I added the wireless anemometer transmitter so I could mount it on the roof, the UV sensor, and then the Ambient Weather Weatherbridge so that putting the data on the internet is easy.
Per the spreadsheet, these are the only possible winners left.
If I did the calculations correctly, and assuming BWI/IAD hit this week, I win if DCA is prior to Nov. 25th, H2O wins between the 25th and Dec. 9th, and Ian wins at or after the 9th.
The couple next door hasn’t moved in yet, thankfully. I did go rake the leaves back into a pile, and that’s when I discovered that they were still dry on the inside and must have moved en masse.
Thought you all might enjoy this. I’m in a leaf vacuum district, so what we do is put our leaves at the curb and the county sends a truck around to get them every 3-4 weeks in Fall. Our maple dropped several days ago, so I had a nice sized pile. When I woke up this morning the pile was gone and the remnants were down the street. As it turns out my camera system caught the “leafslide” during the heaviest of the rain last evening. The water falling in the foreground is from the clogged gutters, of course.

Some really impressive totals out there, >7” north of Richmond. Others above that in NC and then again with landfalling Eta in FL. Very wet day on the east coast.
Our neighborhood was pretty active. Our street had a mini parade with about 20 kids. Many people set candy out on the front stoop or on tables. My daughter cleaned up, and now we have to figure out a way to ration it for the next month.
My wife requires the house to be between 66 and 72 degrees at all times, so we just have the thermostat set to hot/cold all year long. There is no off-season.
And, the power is out. Been a while here. Maybe the big March wind a couple years back. There’s no good weather reason, so it is a different cause.
