LithiaWx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I probably need to do that as well as mine typically runs about a degree warm. I just take off a degree from the current reading and it's always almost dead on with what other people in the area are reporting. Not scientific lol, but I do what I can. 15.6 at 6:30 13.6 @ 7:22PM I moved mine into the open about 4 feet off the ground. No need to worry about sunlight when trying to capture the lowest reading I think six feet is the standard but what wokred for me was 4 at my location.

BraseltonGAWX Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 13.6 @ 7:22PM I moved mine into the open about 4 feet off the ground. No need to worry about sunlight when trying to capture the lowest reading I think six feet is the standard but what wokred for me was 4 at my location. I thought about moving mine out into the open, but always felt like it radiated and cooled lower than the surrounding areas. Right now it is under the eave of my front porch, facing north. My front porch is about 8 feet wide, so it is 8 feet from the heat source of the house. Do you think I am recording too high of a temp under my eave? Do others (without full weather housing stations) have theirs under eaves? Interested in where other people put their sensors and glad you brought this up.

calculus1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 This is the coldest temp I have now recorded at my house. We moved from old location in Granite Falls (7 mi NW as crow flies) in August 2011. I recorded 9.7 F at that location in January 2011. 7.5 F was recorded in December 2010 and 5.3 F in January 2009. That 5.3 F is the coldest temperature I've ever recorded since I began taking records in 2006. I'm hoping to beat it tonight! Down to 13.3 F with -5 DP. Wind chill is 8 F currently.

NEGa Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Pretty crazy to see places this cold so early. Many areas in the mountains now are close to 0 to 5 degrees and will drop below zero maybe within the hour in spots. I always watch highlands and it actually is already below zero. Since around 4:30/4:45pm, it's dropped 13 or 14 degrees here...down to 17.6. It will be interesting to see what the temperature does the next few hours. The models showed this quick drop off to an extent but they really slow down the cooling this evening. So we should have a good idea over the next few hours if the temps will be colder, warmer, or as projected. well the plunge in temps seems to have slowed down - the temp is now dropping but much more slowly. i am in single digits already though lol 8.7 WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Snow has stopped but as small as it may be we now have a snow pack to work with. Temp is on the retreat again @ 4.8° DP -0.9° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Down to 16 here! That is a 16 degree drop since 4:30! Moved the cats and dog into the garage. They could handle the cold but the wind was making it tough! The extra money spent on the garage continues to be worth it!

mackerel_sky Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Can move to banter if need be, but keep your children away from frozen ponds!! Every time it gets cold enough to freeze ponds over , like this event will over the next day or two, you will hear atleast one or two stories from our region about this happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
