Unfortunately, I'm not allowed on the roof any more. My first Davis unit, the Weather Wizard, was in use from 2000-2005, then the Weather Monitor II from 2005-2013. Both in the calmer climate of Epping with the mast attached to the apex of the gable end. I was able to access with by double extension ladder on the garage flat roof. In the cold windy North there is no convenient garage flat roof so I got the roofers to install the anemometer when they were here in early 2014. The mast and fixings are there to an industrial standard. If anything goes wrong they will have to bring the anemometer down again as my ladders are too short and I'm not allowed up the ladders if my minders are around. The Weather Wizard anemometer suffered from poor connections and had to be replaced (FOC). The Weather Monitor unit became rather noisy towards the end ot it's working life and as it was brought down to ground level one of the cups fell off - quite touching really. On a different matter we had some light snow early this afternoon but everyone survived this Arctic blast. -- George in Swanston, Edinburgh, 580'asl www.swanstonweather.co.uk www.eppingweather.co.uk www.winter1947.co.uk |

Graham Easterling writes Well, not quite, the peak swell height reached 19m! at the wave hub yesterday, with a significant wave height near 35' You don't 'often' get that sort of thing anywhere. Graham Penzance No not round the Isle of Man, there's not enough fetch on the sea for the waves like that to build up. We've certainly had similar wind speeds on several occasions though, not to mention rainfall. In this SE/SW centric group it's never noticed, reading this place you'd think the world revolves round SE London, Devon and Cornwall. Hence my impatience with people calling this winter boring. Jim I thought I'd said rather the reverse! Graham Sorry Graham, don't quite understand your response. Yes I am a bit thick, the wife fully agrees. Cheers -- Jim |

Lawrence Jenkins writes I live in SE London Jim and I haven't to my knowledge moaned about winter so far and I can't think of anyone else who does; live in SE London that is. Not you Lawrence, somebody from the SE was whingeing about the winter being boring. Can't recall who just now, I must be having a senior moment. Cheers -- Jim |
