April 14, 2009: Quiet weather – mixing concrete – weather instruments

  Well, some quiet weather for a few days?  SAY IT ISN’T SO!!!!  🙂  Chilly weather today with a lot of clouds.  We escaped the severe weather threat yesterday.  Why?  No instability.  No instability = no severe weather.  Had the sun came out yesterday we would have had hailstorms and high winds.  Thankfully, we did not!  So, we escaped severe weather for once.

  Next threat for showers and storms will be Saturday or Sunday.  Nothing major – at least that is how it appears right now.  Will monitor 🙂  – as always.

  Finals are coming up.  Guess I need to start studying for those.

  We mixed concrete today.  Trying to get my weather instruments up and running.  I needed a concrete pad for the big rain gauge – then we put a pole in the ground for the digital rain gauge that shows up online – and we poured some concrete into the shelter leg – holes.  Will let it harden tonight and go check it tomorrow. 

  I need to run some electric wires – as well. 

  Verizon came today, but couldn’t finish.  They have to do a dig order – first.  I don’t know why they thought they could run the wire above ground.  The trucks will run over it.  That would not be good.

  Some photos from today…

 


Time to mix some concrete 🙂
