My current online data (except for rainfall/snowfall – use the cocorahs link shown below for that dataset) is showing regularly on Weather Underground. My data is posted there every 5 minutes. My ID is KMDROCKV200 and my station is called “Gardens of Traville.” Data is online, normally just about in real-time now as it is being updated on a 5 minute interval. The web address for my data on weather underground is:
https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMDROCKV200

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

Please remember that my Weather Underground precipitation data reflects what is recorded automatically through the tipping bucket VP2 gauge, just as it does on WxLink 2.0. The tipping bucket has been producing erratic values at times so should not be used except for general precipitation timing.

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

Good morning from the snowless walrus on this partly cloudy Monday.

With peak bloom of the famous downtown Washington DC Cherry Trees in the Tidal Basin finishing up this weekend , I have one more featured image posted this past week. Today’s featured image is another picture posted on FACEBOOK by my photo-journalist weather enthusiast friend Jim Schuyler of the blooming joshino
cherry trees in downtown DC at the Tidal Basin taken  this past week. This has really been quite a spectacular week of cherry blossoms down in the Tidal Basin and other favorable locations in the metro DC area. Thanks so much Jim!!!
