Rainshadow Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 I hoped to not be the lead post, but… Today Lee came to install a NWS specs thermometer in our backyard, so now we are a complete official NWS cooperative observation site. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall any on your side when I worked there. It might be that there is a Delaware River site in NJ. It doesn’t hurt to ask. So I now have 3 thermometers in our backyard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a contact for Lee? I think there’s a coop station in Belvedere NJ at the bridge if not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them already has figs on it. The one that is supposed to be zoned for our area died back to ground level. Same back yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee joked the NWS may join the 21st century one day. I have to go out and read it. It is solar panel powered, so it has that going for it. That is why I will continue the Ambient Station (in the background of the picture) because I can access it through wunderground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses a 24 hour clock for each day so if one goes on vacation, one can look back and get info. I think Lee told me the memory was like 30 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchnick Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 On a different note, now that I'm retired and look to be stuck in Hanover, PA for the duration, I'm getting my house in MD ready for sale...hopefully before the market completely crashes. We had our daughter and hubby staying there for the past 2 years so they could save some $ for their own house. Mission accomplished. I never went in the place after my daughter took possession and couldn't wait for them to leave to get it sold. Now that I've been back in it for the past week working, bigtime sentimental downer has descended on me. I absolutely hate the thought of selling it 😣. But it makes no sense practically or financially to keep it, so it must go. My wife and I watched them build it starting in 12/88 and my daughters know of no other home. For years as a lawyer I would cavalierly advise older clients to just get rid of their house and move into something more practical. Now I completely understand their reluctance. How this getting old/sentimental stuff can hit you out of the blue really stinks. Next thing you know, I'll be bookmarking websites that maintain records and maps of old snowstorms. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am already fantasizing about retiring and selling my home, but as you mention you and your wife having watched yours be built, I realized how tough it may be to part with mine, because my wife and I did the same… Definitely hear you on sentimentality increasing with age… I find tears in my eyes much more frequently and easily as I age… But Winston Churchill cried a lot too, so I feel no shame 😏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
