powderfreak Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 About 0.45" the past 36 hours. Just north of here got crushed with another inch. Some spots in N.VT are in the 2.5-4" range in the past week. Now just enjoying the view at work getting everyone into place for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 it would be awesome if the pattern resembled fall at all S of the 50th parallel - heh. did anyone notice how the '2-day shot of fall weather' got pretty much smeared to pedestrian cool down and is really more like pleasant summer weather now? ... perhaps not in all guidance, but the GFSX and NAM MOS don't shine on with that same cool synoptic panache that sparked that conversation the other day now that the time frame in question is visible to those products. i think we warned this would happen at that time tho - not surprised. in some conceptual sense it's hard to depend on autumn with heights over 580 and thickness' so high - what's knew? a trough dug too much in an an extended. i just fear for 'ghost' amplitude in the winter, too - like take that same tendency to a D5-7 outlook during mid winter would be really annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think the tropical system aided in that too. Get that out of the way and the trough may have dug a bit deeper. The Plains aren't having an issue it seems with that. Also, the ensembles were never as deep as the op runs, which goes to show you that they have more skill in the day 7+ range.

powderfreak Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 What a beauty of a day.. 66F at 1,500ft at the office with a nice NW breeze. Won't clear 70F today under full sun probably at this elevation as CAA happens aloft. Town should hit 74F or so. Dews in the 50s falling into the 40s. Very refreshing. Awesome late summer weather.

HoarfrostHubb Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Went through a pretty wicked pissah deluge on Rte 2 in the Fitchburg area around 3:15 dropped temps around 13 degrees but soup city now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 So I want to put a ~40ft telescopic mast on my garage roof and attach a new Davis anny to it. I'll mount it in a tripod at the apex. Masts that size tend to have an outer diam of over 2" and it's tough to find a 5ft tripod online that can handle that diameter without getting the rusty coat hanger in the bank account. Currently I have a 20-25ft pole up there with 3 guy wires about 3/4 of the way up. How would you guys install the 40 plus footer? The only thing on it will be the anemometer so essentially the only thing it's supporting is its own weight. Do you think I can get away with one set of guys at about 30ft or should I go with guys at two different levels to be safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will need to guy it further up otherwise you will have too much swaying and wobbling especially if you're only using a tripod mount as the base. After about 8-10 feet unsecured those telescoping masts can move a fair amount given it's only a pin or screw that keeps the sections together. I've noticed a wobble even in a light breeze. If you were wall mounting let's say the lowest 10 feet you could probably get away with just a set of guy wires at the top. Better safe than sorry, and the cost to add an extra set of guy wires is negligible. You could just attach a new set of guy wires to the existing anchors depending on how far out from the base they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just attach a new set of guy wires to the existing anchors depending on how far out from the base they are. Yeah...I'll probably do that. I'd imagine my guy ring is currently about 20ft from the roof apex. I could leave those guy lengths as is and just add 3 more for around the 35-40ft level. The mast I'm looking at has an OD of 2.25" on the bottom and most of the 5ft tripods max out around that so it'll be a snug fit at the bottom. My Davis wind has been slowly slowing for a few years and I was ready to upgrade to an RM Young 05103, but I found a study that shows it measures lower wind speeds than reality since the wind vane has to reorient itself in order for the propeller anemometer to be measuring at 100% capability. The wind tunnel specs are impressive, but the cost and real world uncertainty steered me away. I'm leaning toward just going with a new Davis and getting the bump up in height instead. That should get my anemometer up around 60ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
