Weather Underground? I think I've figured them out; in any area they have one or 2 "official" weather stations (manned or maintained by them). You can also adjust the website to an "unofficial" reporting station nearest you to get more true/realistic data. The problem is that the official website doesn't incorporate the unofficial data. It's a mess really, the only reason I use them is the fact that they have all the volunteer stations available

My neighbor has a weather station on there that I look at. I also look at other nearby stations to verify the readings, I can tell some of the stations are way off.

The radar is pretty accurate too.

you guys do realize you can buy your own personal weather station, right?

friend of mine has one works great....he even connected it to his phone...

on this note...howdy everyone......

just went to my first interview at of all places Orilley's .......eek.....i dunno who was impressed more when i point out the Chilton's manual for the air cooled bug was wrong...to them to pick up haynes they would be better off.......of course i went through the interview without a hitch...we talked, then the manager had me do some kinda of number test to see if they were the same or not.....blew through that like it was nothing....also found out that most of the people really don't know how to look up parts...while he left me alone for a moment i just sat there smh.....

on another side note.....space tomatoes tests are surprising me....the plant seems to like this kinda of weather..just have to adjust watering times

lol our warning signs are about giant hogweed and poison ivy, nothing about the wildlife. Judging by your fox top you're a mountain biker. We've borrowed some of your north shore features, they're not as skinny, but they're fun and challenging to ride and there's lots of big jumps and other crazy stuff I won't ride on.

Ants destroyed my weather station, moved in and made a nest and in an outside thermometer. Never really wanted an ant farm.
Really though, having current data from so many sources makes a station here somewhat unnecessary.

Supposed to have the hog weed here now, but it looks so much like queen ann’s lace, I just stay away from it all, sounds like nasty stuff.

Nope can’t mtn bike anymore, knees too shot , too lazy , lungs can’t take it & not fast or loud enough. But there was a time...

Dirt bike . Drug of choice is a 300cc 2t
80mph top speed . :eyesmoke: A6406DA4-2F14-48D7-8AE2-7C15AE567721.jpeg
Might put a 500 kit on in next year , but will gear it to about the same top speed .

We are a little behind the curve this year. Usually we do a spate of 118-120 with nights in the 90s. What kind of heat do you guys get in summer?
Click to expand...
80-110
Biggest heat wave I can remember was back in the 2009 we had 7 days around 115 bad time the fires were so bad Saturday of that week is referred to as Black Saturday. To be fair the last few years haven’t been to hot.
Melbourne gets dry heat and 0 humidity

Put a 1000w motor on that and you just might have something there...although I prefer a 3rd wheel and a basket...
