We didn't? We'll probably get around to rebanning him one of these days.

I don't think so. He's been around all day leaving "haha's" to all of Scoot's posts.

Could be a few things... Passive shield Old sensor (is that the original?) Some kind of heat influence from roof

Probably a good time to signup for CWOP. http://www.findu.com/citizenweather/cw_form.html What are you using for software? Weatherlink?

Maybe global warming is responsible for the obesity epidemic?

Global warming. Bigger versions of animals occur in warmer climates.

North side?

Honestly I wouldn't calibrate the new sensor. You're trusting the digital probe to be accurate (what's the accuracy of that?) and you can't go by ice freezing on surfaces to judge a properly shielded 2m temp. 0.2F isn't a lot, but the temperature accuracy of those Davis sensors are great now. If it was me, I'd remove the offset. Sensirion and Davis calibrate these anyway. Just my $0.02.

They are selling the FARS for $275. I mean you’d almost be better off buying an entirely new sensor suite with FARS for $422 which would give you spare sensors and parts...rain gauge/cone, transmitter, temp/hum, anemometer, etc. Either that or you can try the $97 daytime fan kit add-on. Basically, the fan will run as long as the sun is hitting the solar panel. It isn’t as effective as the regular FARS though.

Balmy 25° already. Mid teens in the lower els.

Let me get back to you on that. I need to see the difference in the mounting options. The 24hr FARS has its own batteries and solar panel. I would think the passive is disassembled from underneath the rain gauge and the FARS mounting bracket is assembled in its place.

Wait what? How did you calibrate the new one with the hum sensor? It should be ready to go out of the box.

Looks awesome Gene. It’s a VP2 Lava.

Only 6.9° here...nbd. Enough to irk molting chickens though.

I live in a different world than I used to live in now. I keep areas around the yard clear for the chickens and part of that is keeping the driveway clear so they can pick at the little rocks for grit. I used to “clear” 3” of snow by driving on it. Having that snow packed layer made it easier on the snowblower too since I never picked up rocks. So really it’s the chickens’ fault I’ve changed. Frequent snow and rain just makes my life a lot harder...same goes for extreme temps. I’m not really trying to hate on anyone’s weather or climo.

-11° now. They’re such an outlier on most nights though.

Our snow doesn't turn black as fast as E MA. Refreshers aren't needed so frequently.

NH thanks you.

I like me some deformation bands with deep pow, but yeah, I'm all set with dink and dunks.

What a pita and waste of time in my life that would be. Off and on light snow all day that requires frequent removals that just sublimates or compacts into the snow pack anyway. I'm not completely all or nothing, but I at least want some bang for my cleanup buck and I wanted it concentrated into as little time as possible. To each their own though.

Not much wind there in his nook either. It piles up nicely on his elevated measuring board.

Lost control on my way in this morning, but regained control Dale Earnhardt style (pre death). I wasn't even going that fast, but I drove like Aunt Mildred after that.

25° and +SHSN just as I’m heading out. Thanks.

I would blow my brains out if I had to clean off my truck 3x/day, 5 days/week.
