INTRODUCING...

Our 'Snowfall in the Backyard' records - the weather station does not automatically measure snow, although it will measure whatever snowmelt trips its switch. Therefore, we're including this hand-crafted snowdepth page with data collected by our intrepid weather crew (only one of whom is black, with four feet, floppy ears and a lively tail).

Also, if you're seeing problems with these data, then check out the weather station logbook. Ok, this isn't as exciting as it sounds, but, in case you're wondering why the station is recording rain on a parched day or aridity during a deluge, you can check this log in order to see what quirks of maintenance or irrigation might explain the anomalies. If you're still not satisfied, please let me know - perhaps I haven't even noticed anything's wrong.

Between a herd and an electric fence....

Below are graphs showing are some recent conditions from the Creek House weather station (also known as "weather pig" in honor of our donor's favorite animal). If you prefer numeric information, click here for a tabular presentation of the most recent weather data or click here for a summary of data for the current month, here for the previous month, and here for the year to date.

Because I don't want to leave my computer on around the clock, this information only updates when I have been on-line. When possible I will do this each weekday; you're on your own Saturday & Sunday. The graphs below end at the point of last update; the linked file specifies the last weather update.

We're not in the business of weather forecasting, but the National Weather Service is. Here's their latest local forecast.

NOTE THAT THESE GRAPHS ARE FOR A MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT THREE-DAY PERIOD. EACH DAY IS DEMARCATED BY A TIC MARK BELOW THE X AXIS. THE VERTICAL LINES DIVIDING EACH DAY COME AT 8 AM and 4 PM. DATA LINES END AT TIME & DATE OF LAST DATA UPLOAD. "ET" BELOW REFERS TO EVAPOTRANSPIRATION - ESSENTIALLY THE WEATHER'S DRYING POTENTIAL; THIS IS A FUNCTION OF HUMIDITY, WIND AND SUNLIGHT. ON THE OTHER HAND, PERHAPS IT'S A GRAPH OF LOCAL EXTRATERRESTRIAL SIGHTINGS...
