Have operated home weather station for over 35 years with records going back to 1977... Current equipment includes Vantage pro, Nimbus digital thermometer, standard nws rain gage, to name a few.

Dec finished here on si with a -4.7° departure and the 7th coldest in 48 years and the coldest since 2010. Snowfall of 10.4"... Excellent Dec in my opinion.
-
Also had a gust to 36 during it .
-
Happy new year, woke up a little late to see it but exactly 1 inch here ...temp went from 34° at 6 am to 24° currently.
-
Still a steady lite snow falling, enough to recoat shoveled sidewalks. Temp down at 23°.
-
To go along with a -4° temp departure...nice wintery month .
-
Snowed at a nice mostly moderate with some lighter periods since around midnight here on si....just measured at 4" on the nose, temp down to 25°. Melted of 0.52"..…so all in all not too far off from what was expected for my area . Over 10" for the month now.
-
At least for now, coming down pretty good again here on si.
-
Yeah just 0.8" snow/sleet on si... Melted of just 0.21"... guidance had around 0.75" total.
-
6" here on si.. Rather light during the night but really picked up at around 6 am. LE of 0.55".
-
0.29" here overnight... Pretty good considering.
-
Hope so...it seems every system coming up from the south has high pressure building down from the north at the same time, suppressing it...just bad timing or what?
-
By "wireless" we mean the connection between the outside unit and the inside console. The console is still powered by AC with battery backup.
-
Yes me also. Had Davis equipment back in the 90's before the vantage pro came out. Also had a heathkit thermometer which I built with my dad probably 45 years ago.

Remember the old days Rob of installing weather equipment...no wireless yet...running wires, drilling holes in the house to get the wires to the inside unit. I've had an anemometer up on the roof for as long as I can remember... luckily it's a ranch home so not too high... don't think I can go up there anymore so hoping it continues to work well.

I'm 65 now....I have written records that began uninterrupted when I was 13. I think ive been doing this since maybe 10 years of age or maybe younger. Come to my house and see all my weather equipment I've purchased over the decades...my basement looks like a weather museum lol.
