Hurray! My Weather Station is up and running at my home in Eugene! KOREUGEN28 is its ID and the current status may be seen here.

New Eugene Weather Station to come online

Posted by: opalmirror, 5:43 AM GMT on February 23, 2011

I will be setting up a new weather station at KOREUGEN28 within the next week or so... probably after the big snow storm goes through. The KORCOLTO5 station will go down after that. I guess I will need a new MADIS ID as well.Cheers,James

Internet Outages fixed

Posted by: opalmirror, 4:02 PM GMT on February 16, 2011

My DSL modem was freezing up and taking me offline randomly for several weeks. About a week ago I traded it for a loaner at ColtonTel and now all is better.I will probably be taking down this station in a couple weeks and starting a new station in SW Eugene where I'm planning to move. Until then, all looks stable.Gorgeous snowy day today! Hope it melts so I can get the pickup down to Meadowbrook for repairs.James

High winds, offline

Posted by: opalmirror, 7:12 AM GMT on January 19, 2010

The power went down taking my station offline at about 1733 PST and resetting my clocks. Power appears to have been restored quickly. However, my server PC halted on reboot waiting for me to press a key, so no weather station data was logged until shortly after I got home, at 2200 PST.The power fault seemed to occur at the time of highest wind speed recorded today, 15.7mph. It's consistent with a pattern of flickering lights I've seen during gusts... no doubt a tree...
