@dendrite

where’s the best/official place to get that info (where do you get it, if I can ask)? And do you have it for dxr. I see a -8 for dxr but conflicts with other recent obs at that site.Thanks.

I use mesowest, but you just have to know the limitations of the 5-min frequency obs vs the full observation at the hourly METAR time (usually :51 to :54 after the hour). 12z gives the 6hr max/min and DXR had -5. They’re still around that temp so we may need to wait until 18z to see if they sneak a -6 in. But locals here have been complaining about the DXR readings based on obs around it so maybe they’re reading too warm anyway.

Thanks. This site has the the correct lows and it appears to update around :51 or :53 as you talked about.

Thanks @dendriteand @BrianW, that’s helpful. I was looking here 

https://www.aviationweather.gov/metar/data?ids=KDXR&format=decoded&hours=36&taf=off&layout=on

and saw a recent -8, which is more in line with other local readings (I have -12 low in New Fairfield one town north). But in general the Kdxr readings look wonky and there is a sensor maintenance warning. I brought it up with @CT Rainlast night but he seemed to dismiss it.

Yea. DXR readings are not reliable, I never trust them. HanRan, help…
