I noticed some improvement with that design with the small droplet rains.

Looks like SI has just the cone in stock.

P/N 6461 is the cone without the logo on it. Same price.

I still need to get the anemometer on roof with a wireless transmitter. Any good preview on those?

1.6” here but almost 3” in Randolph I saw.

Today looks much better than guidance. N wind, but dry air really working in now and skies already partly cloudy...mid to upper levels aren’t nearly as cold as you’d think given the Synoptics, so most of us who get the early April sun can easily push well into the 50’s...

Review? I have the wireless anny transmitter and it works great. You just need to set it up with the console as station 1 so it sees more frequent updates and put the ISS as station 2. You know this, but of course if you have a lot of tall trees it’s going to affect your velocity and direction anyway. So I guess you need to decide if it’s worth it. If you’re only blocked one one side maybe it is.

I don’t have woods, but oaks all around. It still rips good on the roof and there is exposure. I was always curious with some of the gusts, but I’d have to center it on the roof and mount it. I have a tri pod given to me from gibbsfreeenergy.

Wish we could get some warmth in here...but the pattern is absolute Ka-Ka for the next 10-12 days. 

At least with some sun we can get 50s... maybe touch 60 if lucky. Better than 40F and drizzle. But it would be nice to get a few rounds of 67-75. 

[CoastalWx]

Monday and Tuesday look good. DSD Monday so should be 60+. All we need this time of year is offshore flow. Blues at 500 can be nice when that happens.

You sure? Still socked in bad here.  Not fun.

It’s close to something real interesting later this week. But alas may be a Tamarack deal. 

[MJO812]

My fiancee is really thinking about moving to New Hampshire lol

[Damage In Tolland]

Looking forward to 65-70 Monday and Tuesday in CT. Shorts and a warm feel. Even the coast should downslope dandy . Tip napes

Ryan and the ladies at BOX both have mid 60’s. We tan. Couple of beauts. Even for your area on the water there

Nothing like a Davis straight block to get the juices going in April! 2020 continues to give us the middle finger lol 

[powderfreak]

Need some damn sun.  So dark the past few days.

Looks like NE VT has started to clear out but still socked in here. 

Hopefully we can all clear out to at least partly sunny this afternoon.

[CoastalWx]

Get that effing clearing  down here. 

[ORH_wxman]

42 and overcast. 

We ka-ka.

Ha, I'm refreshing the loop saying the same thing. 

Need it.  Want it. 

Looks like some Soviet era movie set here with gray skies, nothing growing at all, brown lawn, sticks and a few rotting snowbanks. 

Maybe I'll take a walk to the local nuclear reactor.

Kevin says we’re in full greenout

Turning out to be a beautiful day here. 55F and mostly sunny. NAM has most of CT clearing out today. 

[ORH_wxman]

Sun finally poking out here...first time in like 3 days. Lol. 

Gotta get my son outside. Run off some energy. 

[jbenedet]

52 at DAW as of 11:50 am. Already a big win given what guidance showed. 55 for a high possible. We take...

Do even better tomorrow. Looking like a run at 60...

[dendrite]

Awesome out. Max of 52F so far.

[Torch Tiger]

I have a Davis vp2 wireless anemometer I don't use. Nowhere useful to mount here

[tamarack]

Surprising sunlight here, and snow atop the overwintered carrots was thin enough for me to move it (and the leaf mulch beneath) and dig.   Broke a couple with the garden fork but they are super tasty after sleeping all winter.

[Damage In Tolland]

Nice sunny warm day in the 50’s. Doing some reseeding
