« Last post by elagache on March 02, 2025, 09:32:11 PM »Dear Steve, Reinhard, Blick, and WeatherCat faithful,
I forgot to reply to your misfortune.
That is a sort of "perfect storm." Sorry that something as trite as a cable falling could cause your Mac to lose its data link. I had this happen to me recently when my 93 year old mother tried to turn of a floor lamp. Since she is almost completely blind she didn't see the Davis data cable. Of course, since I'm in the house as a family caregiver it didn't take long for me to become aware of the problem and correct it.
Still lesson learned. Make sure that you connections are robust!

But take this information with a grain of salt. As noted elsewhere, I had a hardware failure around January 14th, however, I was in Florida for six weeks, so I couldn't fix anything. Upon my return February 26th, I found the cause. Before leaving, I unplugged my printer to maximize the battery backup in case of a power outage. Sometime after that, the plug apparently fell off of the corner of the desk, landed on the console's USB cable, and separated the micro USB cord from the logger.

This is bad news, although minor compared to what else is happening in the world. Thanks all, and Stu in particular of course.
Hope we can continue on the WXforum - I just registered.

« Last post by elagache on March 01, 2025, 09:59:07 PM »Dear wx-watch, Ken, Blick, Stu, and WeatherCat faithful,
Thank you so much Ken for laying the groundwork for a new home for us WeatherCatters!
I have started a thread to share our climate data:
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=48212.msg486323#msg486323
Hopefully our community can move over with minimal disruption.
Thanks again,
Edouard
No issue adding boards/sub-boards for WeatherCat specifically, and with adding any current moderators/admins as moderators for the new boards.

« Last post by elagache on March 01, 2025, 09:38:38 PM »Dear WeatherCat observers of all the moods of winter,
Thank you Reinhard and Steve for your contributions!
Here is the summary of February at Canebas Weather Station with the usual plug to Grand and WeatherCatRCP
For the newcomer, here is the approximate location:
Open this map on OpenStreetMap
I left January's results for comparison. February was extremely wet in the San Francisco Bay Area, but the extra rainfall didn't make up for the lack of rain in January. We shall see what March brings.
So who's next?
Edouard
P.S. I have started a thread on WXForum.net to replicate this information on what hopefully be our new home.
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=48212.msg486323#msg486323
All WeatherCatters who regularly contribute to this topic are encourages to do the same on WXForum.net!

Yes, Dr. Tom Schwab has been using WeatherCat and posting on WXforum.net quite a while

That's always been a weak point, and I've had good intentions to wrap the junction in gaffer tape for over a decade. Now, it's finally done.
So this month's report only covers whatever was in the buffer.

« Last post by Steve on March 01, 2025, 04:23:04 PM »So very to see this forum go, following the demise of the predecessors several of us belonged to. Thank you, Stu!
And thank you Ken for offering a refuge for the forum. Many years ago, I was a moderator on the Macintosh Weather Software sub-forum at WXForum.net, but it had next to zero activity.
Stu, please take Ken up on his offer to have you moderate/participate on WXForum.net
[EDIT] Huh, it appears that I'm still the Mac software forum moderator, but until today, I haven't been on there in years. A member with the username "Schwab", although not a moderator, seems to have been carrying the WeatherCat torch on that subform. Still, a dedicated WeatherCat forum would be a great idea.
