Waterlogged!



I'm not sure. I think it is an issue with the access communicating with Wunderground. If I reset the unit it starts to work for a bit then goes offline. I need to find the time to troubleshoot it some more.

O.k. should have gone with Ecowitt been working flawlessly for me guess to late to return?

AF says 12Z GFS showing 1 day of cold air then gone.

More like half a day.

But yeah, I would pay for one cold/sunny day right now. This weather is depressing even by Vancouver standards. Hopefully will be out of BC later this year.

Don't worry, it's still the clown range.

I'll be trying to further improve performance of the website by using a lite CDN, meaning it's not a full-blown one yet, but it will start to serve some of the content on faster servers to hopefully improve the speed of the page loads etc.

Does anyone have the mountain forecast for this week how are the snow levels l would imagine like a yo yo?

I actually find this site to be super accurate:

Strong PV. Anomalous westerly flow and no High latitude blocking. Meaningful cold or any type of dry stretch will be hard to come by the next 2 to 3 weeks. Perhaps a brief episode of cold onshore flow in early February with 0-500ft snow levels

The 06Z GfS solution with a widespread quick overrunning event is probably the best case scenario

All that cold over Alaska dumping into the GOA is really fueling the jet.

Generally wet and mild over the next while intermixed some cooler periods of lowish snow levels as you said.

Abby Sr. Is your station still incorrect?

I did some calibration of the rain gauge, but it seems to be reading a little high now. According to my manual gauge I should be just under 190 mm for January, but it's showing 203.8 mm.

Unless you were thinking of something else being inaccurate... my nighttime temperature reads a bit high compared to the airport, but that's not an error.

How is the Ecowitt's rain gauge?

Also Davis has a new type of tipping bucket that is supposed to be better than the old ones I might upgrade to that and see how that is.

If it doesn't snow again then bring on the +20C sunshine!

Hopefully we can knock down that PV south with a massive GOA block. Otherwise we may not get one more arctic blast this winter, as we all hoped. I still have a good feeling for February but we'll have to see how it all unfolds. That stubborn PV is concerning.

Nito must be living this. Mild rain. He lives for this sh...tuff.


My rain stats are gonna be messed up with ice clogged rain gauges this month. But I’m sure we just passed 10” for January here.
