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.

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. And the tipping bucket is producing significantly higher values than my 4″ 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.

No rain fell on Tuesday with November 2018 rainfall still at 5.76″ with the year-to-date precipitation also still at 56.81″.

Wednesday should be mostly sunny and cooler late, with highs in the upper 40s early dropping to lows in the low-mid 20s.

Thanksgiving Thursday should be sunny and colder, with highs in the low 30s and lows in the upper teens
with brisk winds at times driving our wind chills well down into the 20s if not the teens. It should be our
coldest Thanksgiving in over 20 years. More details tomorrow and Friday.

(Black) Friday will still be mostly sunny and still cold, with highs in the mid-upper 30s and lows in the upper 20s.

Saturday will warm to about 50° for a high, around 40° for a low, cloudy, and a 100 POP for rain, possibly beginning as sleet in the early AM. Sunday should turn sunny and milder with highs in the mid-upper 50s and lows in the mid 40s,  

Tuesday’s midnight observations include a temperature of 38.4°, relative humidity of 67%, barometric pressure of 30.16″ and falling, and a dew point of 28° with mostly clear skies.

Currently at 0621 the temperature is 31.9°, dew point temperature 26°, relative humidity 80%, and barometric pressure at 30.16″ and steady.

Mostly dry conditions will be prevalent over Thanksgiving week until Saturday’s rains. Unfortunately very little moisture available for snow on Thanksgiving, despite the temperatures being cold enough to support snow.

The early morning sky is mostly clear. Temperatures have been dropping through the overnight through the 30s. 

Good morning from the Walrus on this Wednesday.
