machetemoonlight Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Well it's good to have the King close for us. It's seems like most of this winter has been the GFS showing something wintry and the euro shooting us down. I'm sure it'll be the other way around for this system but it's nice to be close with the King. Couple of euro runs in row show us being close. We just need one system to put us all in a better mood. Depends on how sweaty he gets underneath that robe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 BTW I found your avatar on the parallel today Nice. wish we could get that look verbatim under day 5. To be honest, if we had to wait till the last few days of January for it, I'd gladly punt this chance next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 BTW thanks to all who do the Pbps. It helps me learn. I can look at the models and hear you guys' analysis and learn. Thanks burger, delta, pack, Larry and jon. Hey no problem! I'm glad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southernskimmer Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Would be cool if we could all take bets 24 hours out on whose location receives what if we do get a storm, and closest to the exact precip/types and amounts gets a kickass storm trophy that we pass around from storm to storm. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Went to the Outback for lunch today, was the best lunch I had in a long time! I just had a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries , the wife had a combo Caesar salad with 6 giant coconut shrimp, both meals were only 7.99$ apiece!

Cold Rain Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I have a question: I was given a temperature station with a remote sensor for outside. The display, which is inside, shows the correct inside temp, measured locally at the display. It also shows the outside temp, measured, of course, at the remote sensor site outside. I mounted the remote sensor about 5.5' high inside the screened porch (and about 2.5' below the roof) on one of the supporting beams away from the house (so it wouldn't be contaminated by heat from the house). I felt like the outside temp was reading too warm, as it was several degrees warmer than surrounding reporting stations. When I took it down and set it on a table, which was about 3' high, right next to the beam where it was originally mounted, the temp dropped about 3 degrees and came in line with what I expected, based on the surrounding stations. What might be causing the difference in temp readings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Is there an eve vent near the original placement? No. I thought it was maybe too high and the ceiling was trapping what little heat might be left in the porch, but there is screen on either side of the mounting site. I also thought maybe the wood beam might have retained some heat. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I would expect the inside of a screened in porch to be a little warmer during the winter and cooler in the summer. When I used to have an outdoor thermometer I tried it in the screened in porch and it was a little warmer than outside. These days, I just use GSO's temperature reading because I'm only a few miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days, I just use GSO's temperature reading because I'm only a few miles away. I'm guessing a little heat is being trapped. It says the sensor is water resistant and needs to be mounted in a sheltered area, so unfortunately, my choices are limited as to where to put it.

What might be causing the difference in temp readings? The sun heats the roof and attached beams during the day. After sunset the outside air cools quickly. The air in the screened in porch is influenced by the heat retained in the overhead roof and beams. Sort of a primitive radiant ceiling heating system. 2.5 feet is close enough for the thermometer to be affected. If you keep track, you will notice that the difference in temp is less on windy nights because of the rapid exchange of air inside the porch with fresh colder outside air. Only solution is to move the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll find another place for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 What might be causing the difference in temp readings? I think jburns got to the crux of the issue, but I would also think that since hot air rises, it would take the longest amount of time to erode underneath the ceiling in your screened-in porch. Thus, when you put the sensor lower, the temperature dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 So basically, if we don't score next week, we are done til Feb, when the pattern re shuffles and maybe some blocking!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The pattern thread here is a combo of some true pattern discussion buried within a bunch of potential event discussion posts for potential within the next 5-6 days. Another bb a number here frequent has several separate threads for potential events and, as a result, its pattern disc. is pretty much pure pattern disc. What's wrong with doing it that way here? Opinions? IMO, there should at least be a potential events catchall thread to cover those being actively discussed until if/when separate event threads are created.
