New Davis weather website
November 28, 2003
I have made the leap from dreaming about the snow to moving to where it is. I know how difficult it is to access real-time, accurate weather conditions in the Canaan Valley/Timberline area, so I've splurged and purchased an expensive weather station and the software to download it to a web site. I plan on making a link available on meyerhousebandb.com. I hope to give reports of not only the current conditions, i.e., temp, humidity, wind and liquid precip., but I'm also going to add in current day snowfall, 1 week snowfall, and season-to-date snowfall. Any other suggestions as to what may be useful to list on the site -- maybe average snow depths? Please advise.
Once you get things up and running you might want to talk to Chip over at Whitegrass about posting a link on his site as well.
Cant wait!You will be reporting cond at 3200' can we get some 4200'+ reports? I remember the mtn operations guy at timberline used to tally up the snow totals on top of the mtn. There is a diff. His total for 95/96 was 320"!! been starvin for info for years more power to you & thanks
Andy has a good point: there are a number of different microclimates in the area. Canaan Heights gets very different weather from Davis, for example.
Can't wait to see your weather reports. Getting good weather for this area is difficult. What is the old temperature rule? 3 degrees colder for every 1000' feet?
