[wxqc] Up and running and general question

[Evan Bookbinder]

MesoWest should not be used for climate records. All they do is
graph/tabulate the actual hourly observations. Large fluctuations can occur
in between 2 hourly readings, and indeed the low temperature was 4F.
 
METAR KBDL 091151Z 01005KT 10SM SCT250 M14/M24 A3051 RMK AO2 SLP337
T11441239 11128 21156 51009
 
21156 means 6 hour low was -15.6 or 4F

Extremely happy to report that my VWS is up and running again thanks to Mr.
Helms for all of his patient help diagnosing my system.  Was missing a
driver and then the computer could detect the the proper port.  Whew!
 
We broke a min temperature record today at Bradley International Airport.
It was 4 degrees against a previous record of 5 for the day.  NOAA has just
announced this and earlier when I checked on MesoWest it gave the min temp
as 5.  Is the below the link the official Bradley Station?  Curious as to
why this is.
