What do you know about with those old COOP sites that were tagged with using a nonstandard thermometer?

I’ve seen it on a few forms before. I was looking at some 12/1933 data for that cold shot and noticed Dixville Notch reported a weenie -52°. Just curious about what they could’ve been using to get the scarlet A.

Does that mean we also get to refer to Greenland blocks as Trump blocks?

COCblock?

I don't know for sure, it could either be equipment (unsheltered for instance) or siting (not 2 m for instance).

Also, let's bring back the umlaut in Coos.

 I need to see a freshet in Coös in an AFD someday.

Just realized there’s lots of beer in those obs. High -15 low -8 on the 28th. Then high -35 low -40 the following day. No surprise considering prohibition ended a few weeks earlier.

We have a block between the Davis and Trump Straits.
