Having my own weather station is a mixed blessing. The cloest NOAA station is about 40 miles away and at a much different elevation and so the predictions are a bit off for my cabin. Having my own recording/measuring devices gives me a more accurate picture of things - especially when it comes to gardening! That's the good news!
The bad news, is that I have a more accurate measure of the extremes. Take last night, for example. NOAA had the low in the uppre 20s when my station recorded a low last night of 12.7 degrees F. Last August, I recorded my first frost at about 26 degrees overnight! I also had my last frost in late May while the frost charts had it in early May. It's nice to know the exact weather at the cabin.
But it was still too cold, too early last night!
