I know I am looking forward to the days spent out on the screened porch relaxing. It has been kind of nice to just hang out by the fire and either watch it snow or read a magazine, or both. Not lying around doing nothing, but just kinda being in a more relaxed mode when I am not doing my regular work duties. A very solid base of 2-3 feet and then another 1-2 feet of fresh on top of that.Īs mentioned, I have been laying kinda low for the past week. So with more on the way this week, next week could be one of the best riding weekends we have had all season so far. I have not been out on the sled, but when you live in the woods, you get a pretty good feel for how things are like there! We probably have around 8″ of fresh on top of the old snow left over from the thaw/rain a few weeks back. The trails could still use some fresh snow, but the groomers have been out and doing their magic to the trails and the only news I have gotten from riders is good news. I would have to say that the majority of the problems created by the January thaw and rain have been done away with. Our temps were not bitter, but were cold enough that when combined with the winds, made it just to nasty to be out for very long. To add insult to injury, it was so windy that it was not very pleasant to be outside either. We still got a few inches in that time frame, but coulda gotten feet. The “Bayfield Bomber” as I like to call it, but the winds were blowing so strong, it did not allow the air to stay over the lake long enough to get fully moistened enough to produce big snows. Much of the day on Thursday and part of Friday we had optimal wind direction and OK atmospheric conditions for a dominate band to set up across the Keweenaw. There was a period the second half of this week that we could have gotten buried by snow had the winds not been blowing so hard. Maybe some more system snows for next weekend to boot. The potential for double digit system snows Tuesday and Tuesday night and then lake effect to follow it up for Wed-Thur.

Plus the forecast looks quiet good for more. Not as much snow as I would have hoped for, but hard to complain about getting 13″ of snow in the past 7 days. We did have a pretty good week of weather up here. It seems to have, as my body finally seems to be able to fight a winning battle and the cough is gradually going away. So I figured I would not do too much extra this week and see if that helped. Still battling a cough, which I think is bronchitis. For one, I do not have a single photo to share. Select State and Station to display plots.So this will be a really short one. Iowa Environmental Mesonet Wind Rose Plots. WRPLOT View™ Wind Rose Plots for Meteorological Data. More on the SAMSON dataset Other Wind Rose Resources For more information, a spreadsheet containing the anemometer height history in meters and feet at each station is available here. In addition, anemometer heights were not adjusted to a common height in the SAMSON dataset. For example, a 5 m/sec wind converts to a 11.19 mph wind, and a 10 m/sec wind converts to 22.37 mph. To convert meters per second into miles per hour, multiply by 2.237. Note: Wind speeds shown in the plots are in meters per second. All hours of the day (24 readings per day) are used to construct the wind roses.

The legend at the bottom of the wind rose gives additional information such as the unit (m/sec), the average wind speed for the month over all hours, the percentage of time that the winds are calm, and the years, months, and hours of data on which each rose was constructed. All wind roses shown in the dataset use 16 cardinal directions: north (N), north-northeast (NNE), northeast (NE), etc. The wind roses in this dataset contain additional information, in that each spoke is broken down into discrete frequency categories that show the percentage of time that winds blow from a particular direction and at certain speed ranges. The wind roses are based on hourly data from NOAA's Solar and Meteorological Surface Observation Network (SAMSON) dataset. The images are organized by state, by city within each state, and then by month. The National Water and Climate Center provides a dataset of wind rose plot images in. Each concentric circle represents a different frequency, emanating from zero at the center to increasing frequencies at the outer circles. The length of each "spoke" around the circle is related to the frequency of time that the wind blows from a particular direction. Presented in a circular format, the wind rose shows the frequency of winds blowing from particular directions. A wind rose gives a succinct view of how wind speed and direction are typically distributed at a particular location.
