Rochester, NY Automated Weather Station

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

My good friend up in Rochester has had this setup for quite a while and just recently did a bit of rework to it. This weekend we were finally able to get it reporting to my website. Still need to work out some kinks with calibrations and calculations but so far so good.

So far we've got 3 sites reporting (TRX001 still awaiting install) and plan on adding a fourth in Ohio very soon.

You can find it here: RNY003

Very nice set up ! Great graphs !
It's been a long time since I have been to Rochester and I am sure it has changed a lot. My late aunt and uncle lived in Pittsford on Parker Drive. Got to drink some Genesee beer and walk out on the see through bridge over the river gorge (not my favorite moment). He was an economics professor at Monroe Community College and the university.

I was an IT guy in Rochester for a decade or so. Always hated that drive into the city. I'm about an hour east. just a little east of Sodus Bay or Chimney Bluffs if you know where that is.

Some day I'd love to get a station like that, but being retired means I'll be stuck with the less expensive stations unless I happen to fall into an amazing deal.

You hit a memory for me....my late aunt and uncle had a cabin on the lake and it was on Sodus Point looking out on the lake. I had been trying to remember it. When I visited them a long time ago we went to the mall and I remember it had a clock with figures in it that moved when the clock played It's A Small World (I think). The Eastman house and museum was awesome.

Thanks for the kind words y'all. It really is a small world isn't it. It was my first time going up there last March for a conference in Burlington, VT. The scenery is hard to beat especially through central to northeast NY.

Some day I'd love to get a station like that, but being retired means I'll be stuck with the less expensive stations unless I happen to fall into an amazing deal.

I'd wager you can get into something like this for what a fully loaded Davis would cost, nowadays at least. :lol:

The bay is only a couple of miles from us and is still a decent place to hang out. I used to paddle over there from our bay quite often when I could still paddle. We live on East Bay, which is far smaller and quieter but still beautiful!

If I may ask, where in Ohio are you planning to add? Just curious. Thanks!
