CapturedNature Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I've been busy with that maple season and just came back from a weekend away in the north country and was surprised to see that we still had the winter banter thread so I decided to start a new banter thread. I was surprised to see how much snow melt there was around here since Thursday when I left. When I left half my yard was still covered and the woods had pretty good coverage, now it's just a couple of really protected shady spots. I also heard peepers when I was driving through the valley so with the maple season ending it's a sure sign that things are about to explode growth wise.

CoastalWx Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'm done with the snow. Never thought I'd say that, but having two kids indoors is enough to drive you crazy. Bring on the backdoors and seabreezes I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year though, all you need is sun. Blues at 500mb means oranges at the srfc with fun. Mixing and DSD stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I’m looking forward to spring warmth and torch. What I’m going to miss this spring being so wet and cold is the gypsies. Doubtful we’ll see any this year. What a run we had the last several years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 There's a chance I might be moving to a location that has a much better western exposure than I currently have and I'm interested in getting an accurate anemometer. I'd like to consider a solution that could replace my current online station. I'd prefer something that is not an all-in-one solution. What kinds of solutions would give me a separate wind, thermometer and rain gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, did you happen to see my question above about weather station options? Just curious if you have any thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to make an investment in something that will allow me to report as accurate a number as I can. The location is on a hillside that that looks over the Connecticut River Valley to the west. I've never been so open before so I've never had a need for a quality anemometer. I have quality analog (i.e. not online) thermometers and rain gauges which is why I'm wondering about options in a complete package but just about everything I've seen has been an all in one package and I'd like something that would allow the sensors to be the proper heights. I also know that some sensors report instantaneous readings vs. averaged or peak readings. Is there something in the $1-2K range that would give me that or is there something available cheaper than that? I'm thinking I could get some good readings and I just don't want them discounted because of the equipment that recorded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#NoPoles Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I watched the pilot for The Crossing. I'm hoping for the best. It has the type of plot I prefer. But...I became unenamored with Lost and The Walking Dead...so it also has the potential to crash and burn. And it's on 10-11pm. That's pretty late. Today was ridiculously cold for April. High of 38 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have for an all-in-1 setup right now? It's just a crappy station that I got through Ambient Weather several years ago. I wanted something so I could get an idea of the temperature at home while I was away. I have that connected to a PC that uploads it to CWOP and WU. I'm just thinking if I'm going to upgrade, I might as well do it right this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that's like missing a toothache. Are you hoping they kill your acorn-bombers? Then you can toss a couple thou to a tree service to safely get rid of them.
