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. For example during our big snowstorm back in mid-January the snow didn’t melt at all during the storm, and only started to record precipitation amounts a few days later when the sun and above freezing temperatures started to melt the snow.
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. I also use a snow stake outside my balcony window to get an idea on how much snow has fallen (while it is snowing) and how much snow is on the ground.
Clouds with light snow that has already fallen (from about 0300-0600 overnight) on Friday, with possible rain later, highs in the mid-30s and lows in the low 30s .
Wednesday should be partly sunny and milder, with highs in the mid-upper 50s and lows in the low 40s.
Thursday should be cloudy and even milder, with highs in the mid-upper 60s and lows in the upper 50s.
Friday should be cloudy, showery and even potentially thunderstormy, with highs in the 60s and lows in the low 40s.
Over the weekend, sun should return with partly to mostly sunny skies and cooler temperatures, highs around 50° and lows around the freezing mark.
Midnight Tuesday night found the temperature at 35.5°, relative humidity 44%, pressure steady at 30.35″ and the dew point at 24.5° under a clear sky.
Currently at 0340 the temperature is 30.8° under clear skies, relative humidity at 74%, barometric pressure steady at 30.37″, and the dew point at 23°.
Good early morning from the snowless walrus on this clear Wednesday. One last look at our most recent snow on March 8 in today’s featured image. I don’t see any snow in the foreseeable future, and perhaps we may be done for the season. We shall see.
