Thu 8th - The NPWS reported a 12cm cover at Polblue till 1500 in the
afternoon. Tim & I went up on the following |
sunday. We observed drizzle & the odd
sleet shower whilst up there. There was only isolated patches of snow left |
on the ground after being washed away by
the rains. |

Instrument
Additions |

~
Installed AWS rain gauge & added current rainfall data to my website.
Rain gauge still doesn't seem to be working |
perfectly as yet because it is picking up
false measurements at a rate of around 1-3mm per day. |
|
Installing this also brought on new
problems with my temp sensor over about 3 days later in the month. I believe
a |
connection problem was to blame as since
cleaning the contacts, there has been no further problems. Though |
interestingly I tried a brand new modular
plug & I still wasn't getting any response! |
