Hopefully it gets here and is up and running by Friday! Could be a good rain event through the weekend!

 

I know! The hardest part will be waiting for it. My other Ambient Weather station is still working, but the rain gauge is not accurate and the hygrometer does not work any more.

Why would you want a weather station when you never have weather? :D ~~~ *running and hiding*

 

He has the new version.  First was wired.  Then solar.  Now they have the Waycross version.  Station comes with two long wires with electrodes attached.  You push the electrodes into a potato, drop it in the swamp, and it powers right up.

Grad school starts tomorrow.  Weeeee.

 

 8/4 is way too early for school to start. That should be made illegal. ;)

 My nephew's 5th grade classes also start tomorrow. He's dreading it. Poor kid. :( When I was a kid in school, it didn't start back any earlier than the last couple of days of August and sometimes not til after Labor Day. We had nearly three full months of summer vacation compared to the just slightly over two months today in some cases due to more/longer breaks during the year. That is sick. :(

 The good news is that the number of snow days in Atlanta last winter was insanely high. I think one was mainly due to cold. It must have been near a record. I'll be rooting for a lot of snow days this winter though I fully realize based on history that reaching the same number this winter will be very tough no matter how cold is this winter.

I decided to move this to banter before Burns does it:

I wonder how high is the chance Brick is on the wx complaint list for any random day of each season. Someone ought to do a statistical analysis. Perhaps we'd be surprised with the results. I wonder what season's average complaint chance would be highest and which would be lowest. Winter has snow on occasion. Then again, it normally has to be measurable to make him happy. Furthermore, I recall him often complaining when it isn't a heavy accumulation, which just about knocks out the entire winter other than non-cold sunnyish days. I think he needs some insanely high amount (for RDU) of something like 4" or even 6" to be satisfied. So, that probably gives one day or fewer of happiness on average. Also, I seem to recall that he's not crazy about ZR and possibly even IP but I could be wrong.

In spring, he has the best shot at severe. Also, he seems to enjoy following severe in other locations.

In summer, he gets occasional severe at home and in some other locations for following purposes. In mainly late summer and fall, he gets a hurricane or maybe even two to threaten the east coast in some seasons. Also, on occasion he gets severe from a hurricane that goes inland on the Gulf.

Also, as mentioned, he likes no precip days, especially if he wants to do outdoor stuff including perhaps watching his son's baseball? games.
