The current weather frame above auto-refreshes every 60 seconds. Items with a red background are values that are rising. Items with a blue background are falling. Items with a white background are current extreme values.

I also have available a searchable database of the daily extreme values I have observed. This information dates back to September, 2001 when I was finally able to get the very first version of what would become vanprod working. The graphs above show the previous 12 hours. There are also graphs available for the past 4 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, and 180 days.

The data on this site are collected from my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro weather station. The station is sited with the main sensor suite about 5 - 1/2 feet above ground in the back yard. The anemometer is not quite as high as official NWS standards call out, as it is only at 23 feet above ground. It is high enough above the roofline of the house and outbuilding that it is not directly obstructed and seems to do a reasonable job measuring wind speeds. My location is just to the East of New Mexico's central mountain chain about 20 miles from Albuquerque.

The values are read from the station by vanprod, which is a daemon I wrote and am currently continuing to develop. The graphs are produced on the fly by cgi scripts that read the RRDs (Round Robin Databases) written by vanprod. Vanprod is distributed locally and from my directory on cpan.org.

This website and also vanprod are available as a community service. Folks living in the Edgewood area are frequent visitors to the site, but on occasion I have logged visitors such as the National Weather Service, US Forestry, and US Fish and Wildlife. I welcome these professionals who may find these data useful in their respective jobs. If you would like to help support this site, consider a donation via paypal to my e-mail address -- stsander at sblan dot net.

I gladly upload these data to:
Citizen Weather Observer Program  Rocky Mountain Weather Network 
 

I am also a spotter for my local weather service office in Albuquerque, NM.

Folks that know me know that I am hearing impaired. I recently received a hearing dog, Tashi from Canine Companions for Independence, CCI. CCI has been providing assistance dogs to people with disabilities since 1975. If you are interested in giving back to the community and making a dramatic difference in someone's life, CCI is looking for volunteer puppy raisers. Puppy raisers mold young, curious pups into enthusiastic and responsive adult dogs, ready to meet the challenges of becoming assistance dogs. CCI offers four types of assistance dogs. These dogs serve a wide range of people with disabilities, including those with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, autism, spinal cord injury, hearing loss and developmental delay. CCI is supported entirely through the generosity of donors and receives no government funding. There is no charge to the participants for the dog. To find out more about Canine Companions for Independence, call 1-800-572-BARK, or visit CCI's website.

This site is also now available via IPv6. If you aren't a computer geek you aren't likely to know anything about that. The countdown banner is for fun for those who understand it.
