Ginx snewx Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Was out in it. Don't care what an ASOS says. It was gusting over 25.. Honestly who cares. You were right, you can Data mine the Tolland Weather Stem for anything you want, here is your wind gust chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 that site by the way is ultra cool, wish they had those every school. You can see by data mining the strongest wind gust 39 mph associated with a high rain rate, quickest barometric fall and highest temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 So no widespread 50-60 like someone said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I mean people continue to accuse me of lying. Not sure why. I just report obs. For some reason people seem to enjoy hurling false accusations. No biggie. Head up and continue moving. It's a marathon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Kevin is on a hill exposed to srly winds so 40+ is reasonable. Just not the 50+ he claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that station is sweet and a great idea for schools...the educational opportunities are big, especially for like an Earth Science teacher. Where's the anemometer? Is it on top of that Taj Mahal of a school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 I mean people continue to accuse me of lying. Not sure why. I just report obs. For some reason people seem to enjoy hurling false accusations. No biggie. Head up and continue moving. It's a marathon I for one never did - just QC'ing the obs. Most people over estimate winds. Just drive down a road at 30MPH and stick your arm or head out the window (if you're not driving). Based on the THS obs just prior to 0600, there were a couple of peak gusts to 25 which was the minimum that you stated so, yeah, there were gusts in the 25MPH range but 20-25 was more like it. They were as low as 15MPH just prior to that. Remember, you're known for hype which by it's definition is embellishing the truth. When PF was discussing temperature with MPM a few weeks ago, he wasn't accusing him of lying, just trying to understand the obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 looks like about 30 feet up I think 10 meters is the standard for wind, so about that. Too bad they couldn't mount it in the open field for more accuracy. I hate those all-in-one units because you always have to compromise about the siting of one of the sensors. The wind one is about right but taking precip and temperature measurements at that height makes it difficult to compare with other sensors or gauges at ground level or 4-5'. It's not like they don't have room for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 looks like about 30 feet up Seems decent for getting wind. Close to the roof a bit but like MetHerb said, you have to hate the all-in-one equipment because something is always compromised. Like in this case the temperature is not 2-M, but the wind is ok.

dendrite Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 looks like about 30 feet up That anemometer/ISS is barely above the roof. There may be some weenie acceleration/turbulence of the wind there. Not totally ideal. That turbulence can wreck havoc with precip too. The 2m temp is a little close to the building so you have some possible radiation issues, but it's well off the ground as well. I guess it's just easier for them to install it up high...then you're at least getting some prevailing wind and you avoid the HS juvenile vandals.

powderfreak Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I just realized we hit 68F at like 11am this morning...that's close to record highs which are near 70F. Dews up to 58F too. Almost humid. Dropping now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Impressive little line for the wind.... have to see what the local PWS gusts to, but I'd estimate 30-40mph gusts with this line. To the point that I'm momentarily worried about losing power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
