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.

0.48″ of rain fell on Tuesday with November 2018 now having 2.87″ of rainfall at my location with the year-to-date precipitation at 53.92″.

Wednesday will be partly cloudy, highs in the low 60s and lows in the low 40s.

Thursday should be mostly sunny and cooler, with highs in the mid 50s and lows around 40°.

Friday should be cloudy with more rain returning (100 POP), colder with high temps in the upper 40s and lows in the upper-mid 30s.

Saturday should be partly cloudy and cold, with highs in the low 40s and lows in the upper 20s.

Sunday should be sunny and still cold, with highs in the mid 40s and lows around 32°.

Tuesday’s midnight observations include a temperature of 53.5°, relative humidity of 96%,
barometric pressure of 29.97″ and rising, and a dew point of 52° with partly cloudy skies.

Currently at 1050 the temperature is 58.9°, dew point temperature 43°, relative humidity 57%, and barometric pressure at 30.12″ and rising.

Fall color has transitioned quickly over the past week to past peak with lots of leaf fall from the recent frequent windy conditions. The morning sky is the subject of today’s featured image, taken from the rain gauge looking NE around sunrise, a nice mackerel sky of cirrocumulus.

Currently the sky is partly to mostly cloudy with temperatures rising through the upper 50s. 

Good morning from the Walrus on this Wednesday.
