You can get my VP2 data on Weatherlink. I have migrated over to Weatherlink 2.0 so I have a new link for my data. You can now access the data through:

I am posting daily to weather underground. My ID is KMDROCKV200 and my station is called “Gardens of Traville.” Data is online, normally just about in
real-time. The web address for my data on weather underground is:

I contribute daily to cocorahs as Rockville 2.8 WNW, Station ID MD-MG-115 on https://www.cocorahs.org/

Please remember that Weather Underground precipitation data reflects what is recorded automatically through the tipping bucket VP2 gauge.

I actually use the data I post to cocorahs from my 4″ cocorahs gauge I read manually as my “official” precipitation total each day.

October 2018 has had 0.01″ of rainfall at my location so far with my year-to-date precipitation at 48.43″.

Overnight Saturday into Sunday was mostly cloudy, foggy, and damp. Dew points climbed through the mid-upper 60s overnight to around 70° by sunrise.

Sunday AM had clouds and fog with PM sun and a significant warm up into the low 80s and lows in the upper 60s.

Monday should be partly cloudy, warm and humid, with highs in the low 80s and lows in the upper 60s and a 40 POP for showers.

Tuesday should be partly to mostly cloudy, continued warm and humid, with highs in the low 80s and lows in the upper 60s.

Wednesday looks to be partly cloudy, warm and humid with highs around 80° and lows around 70° with only a 20 POP for a shower.

Thursday should be cloudy with highs in the upper 70s, lows cooling off late into the mid 50s, and a 90 POP for thunderstorms.

Friday should become mostly sunny, notably cooler and drier, with highs around 60° and lows in the mid 40s, our first such lows of the fall season.

Our first freeze/frost still looks to be a few weeks away, as it has been trending later in the fall over the past few years.

Early fall color change is minimal so far, with only spotty locations showing any. What I hope to see more of in a few weeks is today’s featured image, taken up in Danby Four Corners VT last week.

Currently at 0648 the temperature is 70.4°, dew point temperature 70°,

relative humidity 97%, and barometric pressure at 30.31″ and rising.

Currently I have cloudy skies with fog and damp/warmer overnight temperatures around 70°.

Good morning from the Walrus early on this Monday.
