Re: Bad frost last night
Mark, that site is too cooool! Everyone take a look at that. Folks
from all over the country enter their weather data onto the site so
you can find folks near you and find out what the REAL weather is/has
been instead of what the TV/Radio folks tell you.
It reminds me that I'd love to set up my own weather station but I
haven't a clue as to how to do it. Anyone want to discuss it
off-list?
