March 2014 Observations/Discussions

I have needed 1/10th of an inch of snow since the blizzard of February 26th, when I was buried in 0.3 inches of snow, to get to 70 inches.

Pathetic and wrong. I want to change my grade from B- to a C-.  I've never seen a more frustrating ending to a winter in the HV, even in a bad winter.

Skins I would recommend the Vantage Vue 6250 from Davis Instruments, it's 319.99 on Amazon.com. I know it's over your price range of 200$, but it's well worth the money. I put mine in service in February of 2013 and have had no problems with it. You can also buy extra monitors (159.99 also on Amazon) for it in the future so you can see the conditions in other rooms, which I've done. You can also buy their Weatherlink (229.79 Amazon) which lets you hookup your weather station to the internet on Davis's website for free. All you do is plug it in to your router and it's ready to go, your computer doesn't even need to be on. I post my weather information on their site under SNOW MAN'S Pocono Pa. weather, check it out. I hope this information helps you out.
