page should automatically refresh every five minutes; the weather data
will update accordingly IF AND ONLY IF our office computer
and weather station are
connected to the internet at the time. Otherwise, you will see the last
weather data that were uploaded.)
Are You a Hard Core Weather Info. Consumer? HVF weather now available 24/7
Thanks to an anonymous
donation, we have been able to go live with our weather. You can now
check out the Farm's weather anytime, anywhere (e.g., midnight in the
bathtub, 2am EST from the top of the Eiffel Tower, etc.). To do so, go
to the weatherlink network, or download the free weatherlink mobile app for android or apple.
Aside from current info., basic historical information is also
available through that interface (tap the bar at the bottom of the
app's screen in order to see historical data). Our station name is
"hvf". Our standard weather web page will continue to be updated, but, as usual, only when our computer is on.
A bit o' winter.
The weather station does not automatically measure snow, although it
will measure whatever snowmelt trips its rain switch. Click here for snowfall records;
these are gathered using precision scientific equipment (a yard stick)
in a location prepared expressly for this purpose (our back porch) by
our highly trained technicians (only one of whom is black, with four
feet,
floppy ears and a lively tail).
Problems. 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.
Recent Weather Graphs
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
