I had it at like 4 feet AGL on a fence post so I thought maybe that was the reason it was low. But I put my quick-response Kestrel next to it and it was like 6 or 7F warmer. Today I moved it to a post on my neighbors yard and put it at 2M with a zip tie.

 

I have a shield that I haven't put up yet... but I figure at night it shouldn't matter much. 

 

I think you should try the shield. I do remember dendrite saying that some of these thermos with no shield can radiate like the moon at night and give false readings too low. He'd know more than I would but that comment sort of stuck out in my mind when you asked about it.

Because I don't care what the wind measurement is surrounded by trees. Not sure if it's worth 500 bucks for temperature and dew point. 

 

I agree on that, great site at work for the Davis. When tree debris from Irene destroyed one of the Cups at home I said screw it, besides that wind readings in a forested area are Meh I am going to get a new auto rain gauge though, those are neat.

Yeah I love the old school rain gauges too. Nothing better than walking out in a storm and emptying the cylinder.

Man, what an awesome day, 430 am walk, split frozen wood all day, going to have a killer Hickory fire tonight, one of my favorites. Congrats on the cold up north guys, really great to see a double digit below normal day up that way, hope ya'll got out and enjoyed it!

 

 

Lets hope we can grab an inch sat night into Sunday before UF3 begins. :snowing:

Will, what did you think of ensemble runs today? We're they worth all the deaths today?

 

It's not about running off cliffs and saying the euro is right. We're just discussing the possibilities here and trying to find out why the ***MOST ACCURATE MODEL WE HAVE*** is trying to send everybody for a toaster bath in the long range.. that is all

Is it me or are the greatest weenie runs of the GFS tending to be 18Z? I mean it's like they know everyone is awake and winding down from the work day....

 

lol, I think that run gets the most views, people getting home, many do not make the 0z still asleep for the 6z and at work for the 12z, but the old saying years back was wait for the gfs 18z it always delivers, lol.

Eh,  ...Euro was mighty unstable with some recent events, much having to do with its incorrect handling of larger scale mass fields - 

 

perhaps over the longer haul that may be true but I'd apply that rational with some caveats in mind if I were you  :)

Gawx in the southeastern forum is saying the weeklies are much improved from monday...below normal temps for the whole us in weeks 3 and 4....also pops a nice pna ridge in weeks 3 and 4

If that's true that makes sense because weeks three and four would be pushing us into the end of January and the beginning of February
