Nor'Easter 2007 - Day 1 Floods
Guess Mother Nature wanted to surprise us this year. Winter is fighting to stay and Spring is teasing us with 70 degree temps one minute and then 40's the next. But after yesterday, I think Mother Nature is really trying to warn us. Mess with her any more and we'll pay! In less than 24 hours commencing on the 15th, we received 5.62" of rain. By this morning, we had a total of 6.26" of rain. NOAA is reporting we may even get a few more showers before weeks end. Rivers are not suppose to crest till Wednesday at approx. 8AM.

So far the rain has calmed down. With any luck, we'll avoid any more. Stay tuned.July 15, 2006
Wind Equipment Back...
We are finally back to normal with a new transmitter. Wind readings are back to full capacity.

Wind Equipment Failure Update
We have wind data back!
Turns out that the actual transmitter has died and the Anemometer equipment is fine. We have temporarily hard-wired the Wind equipment directly to the main unit while we await a new transmitter. The data will be only slightly affected for accuracy but within the guidelines none the less. The unit that burned out allows us to transmit wirelessly and enables us to locate the unit further away from the main transmitter. New unit will be in about 8 business days or so. More to follow..

Wind Equipment Failure
Seems we may have taking a hit from a recent storm while we were out of state. Never fails something goes wrong while the doctor is out.
In any event, until we are able to repair or replace our Anemometer Transmitter, we cannot monitor any wind speed or direction. Check back for details and sorry for any inconvenience.

Nice weather on the horizon?
Spring has finally sprung. The flowers are starting to bloom and the air smells crisp and clean full of all kinds of wonderful spring scents. Will it continue? Or will summer sneak in under the wire and smother us with 95° F temps and muggy summer humidity early. We can only hope to have a nice and balanced season. We are well over due. Just the right amounts of rain to keep our supplies normal, our flowers blooming and our grass green. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
We wish everyone a great season!

From 60-13 Flat!
Sounds like a backwards speed trial doesn't it? What happened to our spring type weather? Was just a tease I guess. Low today was 13.5 °F at 04:15AM... Pretty drastic! Seems the Northeast got clobbered big time with temps that dropped so fast, you'd think someone was holding a gun to the thermometer threatening it's existence. Thought this was interesting... Our lighthouse didn't get that bad... But we did peak at 42 mph winds after the storms here in West Paterson! Some areas of NY State and other Northeast areas are suffering serious power outages!

Nor'easter hits NJ and Surrounding Regions!...
Just when we thought Spring was banging on our door, some sneak slapped us with a snow storm no one expected. While the original forecast was for 6"-12", we are still getting snow as of 1230ET and we are at approx. 17" and climbing slowly. All due to this storm, which stalled over the Atlantic instead of buzzing out. The ocean temp is 40°F and should be colder, so it took a break for the nice mild water. We've been lucky so far this season. The last snow storm that snuck in on us around this time of the year was in Feb., 2003... Past snowfalls since, have not been much of a surprise. In any event, later this week it's supposed to get milder and a touch of spring may return. Stay tuned for final totals. You can always check our All Data pages for current readings and snowfalls. Now go make some snow angels before it's too late! Cheers!

Rain, Rain Go Away...
...at least for the time being. While today ends Mother Nature's 9 day wrath on us, we still have to deal with more flooding. Flood levels have peaked and have caused the usual grief. Grounds are highly saturated and unable to absorb fast enough. Prior to this months rain, which happened all in these past consecutive days, we only had 24.71 inches of rain since January! This past rainfall has left us with 10.42 inches of rain. That's nearly half of what we got all year! Total for the year is now at 35.13 inches. Well hopefully, Mother Nature will take a much needed break and give us a chance to recover. We needed the rain, but not all at once.... Whew! Does anyone remember what the sun looked like?

Which Way Do We Look?
Added a Ninja Pan and Tilt unit to our weather cam. Now we can redirect the camera up and down and approx. 180 degrees side to side manually by remote control. Or have it scan 4 preset positions that we programmed. Pan range starts from West to North North East. Most of the time, it will be pointing North which is our finest view. Best way to view if panning is start the camera streaming by clicking in the sky or selecting it from the menu. Now we can also move it for beautiful Western Sunsets when they occur.

WHOA & HORAAH!
After I just posted the new album data below, I caught this off my web cam. I'm truly freaked and this picture will go into a special place in my collection. I assure you, these are untouched or altered!

Look at the clouds and the conditions forecasted. Tell me what you see on this Memorial Day 2005! As fast as I saved the snap shot, the Few Clouds were gone!
