Ginx snewx Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Do you really believe that your back yard is representative of the boundary layer? This is where proper siting becomes meaningful, and the airports have it in spades.I think my backyard represents where I live not any large scale importance to weather systems, if I say my dew is 68 and IJD is 63 I certainly do not expect someone saying no way lol etc. That happens frequently here.

snowman21 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I agree, micro climates are real What exactly is a micro climate? On what scale? NCDC says there are three distinct climate zones in Connecticut: the shoreline, the far northwestern hills, and everyone else. OK, so my back deck is cooler than the local ASOS, what does that matter on the grander scale of sensible weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fine...but we just shouldn't use dewpoints out of context. We don't use home station wind speeds out of context. We usually say stuff like "wow my davis measured a 44mph wind gust, thatis impressive for my shletered station". Why can't the same thing be done with dewpoints without creating a fuss?

OK, so my back deck is cooler than the local ASOS, what does that matter on the grander scale of sensible weather? I really do not care. We all know the nooks and crannys of sne micro climates, somebody 6 miles sw of logan can be experiencing completely different weather. It is what it is, sw ct south to north and west is an amazing example, the shoreling nw hills and everyone else argument means nothing to me when my client in North Stamford has 8 inches of snow and somebody on Shippan Point by the water has green grass and cat paws.

Snowman there are dozens of microclimates in CT Yeah I mean I love the gaps that home stations fill in for us. The PD family site is one of the most useful tools I use in winter for nowcasting during frozen precip events. I was more just emphasizing that we should realize what home stations are good at and what they need to be "adjusted" for. We usually take their wind speeds with a grain of salt, and we should with dewpoints as well even if the wind and dew readings are "accurate" for that specific spot. As long as we are educated on that aspect, the home stations are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 OK, so my back deck is cooler than the local ASOS, what does that matter on the grander scale of sensible weather? I'd say the entire point of personal weather stations is because people want to know the conditions in their backyard, not the grand scale or boundary layer or whatever.

I lurked around here for nearly a year before joining as I wanted to see who the person was that the Accuweather folks where poking fun at.

Accuweather is alot more civil but it lacks representation in New England. Alot of members are concentrated around the Baltimore/Philadelphia/NYC area.

I haven't been over there in awhile, but the few times I went there, the crazy weenie-ism made this place seem like watching CSPAN. I knowledge level over there was pretty low and not many mets posted, but perhaps more do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
