[wxqc] Weather is such fun

[Ken Whelan]

My station c5627 has similar behavior that you describe.  We live in a
valley about 50yds from Beaver Lake in Arkansas.   Whend the wind is
calm the humidity in the valley climbs to nearly 100% which throws off
everything.   It occurs enough,  especially in the summer that my 7 day
readings can start being shown as invalid.   However,  it is what the
readings are around the whole lake (its big 200 miles of shoreline).
We are even known to get the occasional lake effect snow.

I also have water temperature available which I don't think anybody else
on the lake has available.

Figured I'd take a look at what got tagged as questional values lately.
It seems the 3rd of this month I got tagged for the overnight temp:

PN

Looking back on my records: http://weather.stadhaugh.com/monthly.html
I remember that day, much of the snow on the ground was rapidly
evaporating and there was some heavy fog at times.

I'm not worried, looks like this was an example of how weather can be
very different over even a small area and fiqured I'd share it as an
example of how sometimes even simple things can effect ones QC.

It's the long term trends you have to worry about.
