Let It Snow…

In the open discussion page, G.C. asked where it was cold as he was in a warm spot. Well, here you go:

    Cool on the east coast, but not freezing. So no snow here.

    can show winds to help explain what is going on
    EX: Wash & Oregon are getting wind directly off the P. Ocean, so we have been warmish, wet, and some wind.

    Happy New Year.E.M
    I ran into this late last year
    “Environment Canada’s stations have temperature sensors located at 1.25 to 1.5 metres above ground. … Temperature sensors have an operating range of -40°C to +60°C and are capable of recording temperatures within 0.1°C. All temperature sensors (WIN and Environment Canada) have an accuracy of ± 0.6°C or better.
    Weather Station Locations | SCIC
    https://www.scic.ca › weather-based › weather-station-locations”
    Very convenient for measuring an Arctic Environment if you want the record low temperatures to disappear.
    i just tried a different couple of searches and am still none the wiser,however about 10 years ago I archived an interesting note of a contract between Environment Canada and NAV Canada to replace all the original unmanned stations here in the Arctic,the sensor used at that time only sensed a range of 20 degrees C,with calibration about the “expected” midpoint being required.
    That I stored on a now defunct laptop.
    Should have written it down or printed it off.
    However since the CRU emails all trust is gone.
    Would it be malice or incompetence to ensure normal winter lows cooler than -40 are not recordable as records being out of range for the equipment being used?
    We just had a nice cold snap before Christmas,there were no temperatures lower than -40 of The Weather Channel,which got me thinking about the failure of the first series of sensors and lead to my attempt to find out what is currently in use.
    If as I now suspect,we have no accurate temperature measurements of any lows below -40 since the closure of the manned weather stations in approximately 1990.
    We really might be Warming at twice the rate of everywhere else,using such data.
