So what's the verdict for this season? wxbell or weathermodels?

39° -DZ Pretty miserable day. 0.08” so far.

Invasive. No way.

And I already posted it in the sports forum, but it deserves to be posted here too. lol Dodgers

You'll probably want to go with some kind of Davis setup. Either the VP2 with Vantage Connect or their EnviroMonitor. https://www.davisinstruments.com/enviromonitor/ https://www.davisinstruments.com/vantage-pro2/ https://www.davisinstruments.com/data-collection/ Either way it won't be cheap.

There's a strong inhalation restriction with those as the only way for air to enter is through the mask filter. Of course there's much less restriction while exhaling, but there's still some since there's a valve there that you have to breathe out against. If I sneeze or cough a lot of it is getting caught inside of the mask filter too. But I'm not going to lie...I'm looking out for me first. I use these to clean my coop everyday so I know how much they keep out of my lungs. Some of the masks I see people wearing are like wide open and flapping on the sides. Those aren't doing much to stop small droplets in and out either. I understand what others have posted and know that they may not be doing much...correlation obviously doesn't mean causation, but I'll keep wearing mine anyway. It's not causing harm to wear it. 42/28

Obviously not all masks are equal either. I use the 3M 8577 P95 ones. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Particulate-Respirator-8577-P95-w-nuisance-lvl-organic-vapor-relief-for-vending-1-pk-32-pks-cs

I’ll keep wearing my P95. It at least keeps me from having to smell other people’s bad breath and body odor.

Nope.

Gotta keep wearing that mask.

How would I explain this event to the wife?

Even Phin is in the yellow up in Coos.

MSP has had accumulating snow in late September and early October before...as recently as 2.5” in 10/12/2009. This will be the most for so early though. 1.7” on 9/26 is lol though.

October 4 in Albany is more impressive than October 20 in Minneapolis. https://www.weather.gov/media/aly/Past_Events/1987/Frank.pdf

If it was 30° and 1/4SM +SN on August 31st it would start sticking then too. MWN has had accums in July. Technically the solar radiation is higher up there than at lower els since there’s 6000ft less of atmosphere to scatter it.

45°N on October 20th. lolol

Triggered

I burn with a UV index of 2 and I can’t even muster a hint of red this time of year. The twin cities got nearly 30” in Halloween of 1991. How quickly they forget. Although he was probably watching Saturday morning cartoons back then.

Violently agree

Yeah glad we don't live at H5.

Man that was a wild night. Snow to prolonged ZR and then back to TSSN. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cgi-bin/request/asos.py?station=MHT&data=metar&year1=1994&month1=1&day1=17&year2=1994&month2=1&day2=19&tz=Etc%2FUTC&format=onlycomma&latlon=no&missing=M&trace=T&direct=no&report_type=2

Yup...thank goodness we found a place where we could rent a genny. It was their last one. It was well into the -20s when the power came back on around midnight of day 2. I think that's the last time I ever saw CON report IC.
