Interesting microscale low moving inland off of Lake Ontario earlier this morning. Brockport NYS Mesonet at UAlbany site showed SW to NW wind direction shift right around 545am, accompanied by a surge in wind speed and pressure rise.

FINALLY recorded a >30mph gust at my station yesterday, 32.01mph to be exact. Still figuring out what wind speed will cause the station to fall over, but that's what we're here for, right? Data from: met-instruments-project.com/stations/rny00…

The exact moment the propeller was freed by a 20mph wind gust the other day after being frozen for over 36 hours straight! #FreeTheProp #RMYoung #WindMonitor

Overnight timelapse from March 11th showing clear skies & stars, and the incredible low-light capability of my IP camera (which only cost $35)

They found one tool I 'misplaced'- more interested in the 1/2" combo wrench I left somewhere else. Enclosure was destroyed and turned into a fishbowl, mast folded like a wet noodle. Will need a new enclosure, CR1000X, Baro, Mast, and charge controller. Everything else looks to

Huge thanks and much eternal gratitude to Quinton Met Instruments Project for helping re-stabilize my weather station and future-proofing it. Worked for 9 hours straight plus 3 trips to Home Depot & Lowes! Another shoutout to Keith Garrett for advice on how to stabilize it!

We now have two #RMYoung wind monitors up on the roof for testing. The reference wind monitor (right prop) is an AQ-model converted to the standard 05103-model housing & tail, which is what we use at NYS Mesonet at UAlbany sites.

Peak gust of 32.9mph yesterday, which coincided with a 4.7 hPa pressure rise/fall, from pre-cold frontal winds out of the WSW!

Added a Pluvio2 rain gauge to my setup. It was pulled from a NYS Mesonet at UAlbany site due to false precip, but has been tested and passed the accuracy test with a 0.001” deviation. Will compare it with the tipping bucket for real-time precip QA/QC.
