Looking for folks who would be interested in playing host to some sensors, radios, and small computers. I would be collecting atmospheric conditions, gases, radiation, and emergency pages sent out to first responders.
This would be a part of what might be an open mesonet network of stations that provide more data than your typical weather station. As host to the station you would have access to the data coming from it as well as the data collected from other stations.
Send me a DM if y
Coolish first day of May with partly to mostly cloudy skies. 58/42 spread here. There were some neat looking clouds around this evening as the next system began to move in.
Yellowstone was an absolute sh1tshow from the 60s to the late 80s, the park tried to crack down on the bear feeding in the early 80s but it continued for another decade, because the bears were already used to begging for food and the tourists kept feeding them, so there was no reason for them to stop. I worked and lived in Yellowstone in 3 different summers back when I was a young lad, got to witness dumb tourists in all of their glory. But once you get a mile away from the road, 100% of the idiots and 99+% of the crowds vanish, and you get to see the most beautiful parts of the park, the incredible mountains, lakes, canyons, waterfalls, valleys, and forests. Unfortunately, almost all of the Geyser basins are easily accessible so there's really no way to avoid the crowds to see those, there is only 1 geyser basin (Shoshone lake geyser basin), and 1 geyser (lone star geyser) that is not easily accessible.
A good way to see the easily accessible geyser basins without any crowds is going to them in the middle of the night under a full moon, plenty of lighting but rarely will you see another person.
We have had 59 days 90+F that had a low below freezing since we moved here in 2016. Most impressive days we've had is a 94/25 day and a 101/31 day.
Keep in mind my property has a lack of trees compared to most of the neighborhood (although we still have plenty), which makes our highs a warm outlier and lows a cold outlier.
