EDH Weather Blog

You may notice that EDH has a slightly higher temperature than the valley. Part of this is the adiabatic effect — the pressure of the atmosphere against the mountains causing a slight rise it temperature before it hits the Sierras. My front yard temp is usually lower during the morning but catches up to the EDHWeather sensor in the back by end of day. These local micro climates are normal for our area, but are significant in readings. More significant is the nighttime breeze that blows in and cools us down while the people in the valley are still using their AC.

Sorry for the past two days of outage. The first was a hung process, the second resulted from me trying to fix the cause. Both have been corrected. Happy Spring!

We’re enjoying the warm weather here in EDH. A bit above average. Gotta love EDH when it looks like an Allegra box.

Tonight I’m expecting lows to get down to the lower 20’s. Expecting 20-25 degrees. Since the recent snow, there will be many areas of black ice and frozen roads. Please be careful.

Since the anemometer and rain bucket are frozen from the snow, these sensors are flatline right now. I expect a bump in the precipitation when the snow melts into the rain bucket. Noticed that south of hwy 50, not a lot of snow in EDH. 3″ of snow before leaving for work. Lots of downed trees and branches.

Even the Intellicast forcast has snow in the forecast. A storm from the north is bringing cold temperatures and precipitation. Do you remember the last time it snowed and stayed on the ground in El Dorado Hills? It was March 12, 2006.  Last year we had snow, but it didn’t stick . Your’s truly went skiing that day. We were in four wheel drive from Cameron Park to Sierra at Tahoe. We made it just before highway 50 was shut down due to multiple accidents.

Had a problem today with dynamic DNS. It’s fixed. Happy Thanksgiving!

The weather server is on a backup machine. Not all links are fully functional. As service is restored, links will be available.  Rain is on it’s way, and I want everyone to know what’s going on. Anyone have a small form factor case and motherboard/CPU to donate to EDHWeather?

Edhweather.com is still in the hospital. Check back here. When it is on line again, your weather service will be restored.

EDH Weather is currently experiencing an intermittent server outage. Resolution is not expected until 10/4. Sorry for the inconvenience.
