Good Morning/Weather Report Suite

[sandhill larry]

It's a cold one here today. At 1520 it's partly cloudy, 52F {down from the high of 54F} with 28% humidity. Tonight's forecast calls for a low of 37F with no chance of rain. My 10 day forecast has one sunny day, while my little seed testers could use all the sun they can get.

I've had this song on my mind. Hope it doesn't apply to you guys current situations.

It's been an absolutely banner day here in NoCo; mid 50s, melting snow, dry roads, people happy! I saw a guy riding his full dress touring bike home. No telling where he went today!

We have another cold snap heading our way: from Sunday through the week, highs below freezing, lows a couple of night in the teens. It will be sunny until: snow forecast for next weekend.

Great weather here currently (mid 70's and high 80's). Looks like its planting time again in a few days on the 2nd. Happy New Year to everyone. Heres to a healthy, happy, & prosperous 2017.

It felt a little warmer today. At 1540 it's raining, 57F with 69% humidity. We didn't quite reach our forecast high of 58F, but still a pleasant day, especially this morning. Forecast low for tonight is 54F with 30% chance of rain.

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year. I've got a late night party here at work, so I'll be working as we ring in the new year.

That job calls for extra safety meetings!

True. My afternoon group just got out, so I tested out some of the CPDA {ALe#2} that I brought into town today. Not sure if it was just something different than the Peach I have been smoking for a couple of three weeks, but I'm really liking it. This plant was the one that got stem ate, so it was cut a week earlier than the other CPDA. It seems to be more potent and better tasting than the one that went longer. {I still haven't done any real smoke test with this crop, so I have no scientific data to base this on, other than the fact I'm really high right now}

 

[sandhill larry]

We had a passing shower a couple of hours ago, while I was out back for a safety meeting. More on the radar, but not much too it.

My customers just got out of here, so I can start the new year with a taste of dank.

We had thunderstorms and heavy rain most of last night. Today it was sunny and hot {high of 78F}. At 1800 it's partly cloudy, 66F with 73% humidity. Forecast low for tonight is 53F with 10% chance of rain. Some rain and clouds in my 10 day forecast, but also a good deal of sun. My little seed testers will appreciate that. {after the 3-4 inches of rain last night}

3" of powder today, temps falling into the teens as I write this. The forecast says we won't see temperatures above freezing until next week.

Hope you have the boiler fired up and are running some hot water threw that chiller of yours

Brother, perhaps you don't understand how a dual circuit chiller works; it removes heat from the cold circuit, and puts it into the hot side. My grow IS heating my home, directly. Current indoor temp; 72.

Think if it is a non reversing heat pump, because that's what it is.

I figured you had a two pipe reverse return system with a manafold to switch over depending on the season

No, it's basically just a 5 Ton AC unit that pulls heat from one tank of water and puts it into another one. Spa pumps then push that water around a circuit to deliver hearing and cooling to where it's needed.

It's easily 30% more efficient than air based AC, just by virtue of using a thermally dense and incompressible fluid (water) to carry the heat/cold around. That performance advantage gets even larger with high altitude and low RH, both of which are common here in Colorado.

What you're describing is a reversible heat pump. This design just keeps the water circuits completely separate, so one can utilize both.

Snowing as I type; less than an inch expected though. 18 tonight (teeth chattering...)

It's forecast to drop to zero tonight after more snow, and as low as -12 the night after.

This morning it's windy and 60f. Yes, that's up from -15 last week. Still snow on the ground here. Weather is definitely weird today!

4" of snow on Saturday, rain and above freezing since Sunday morning. No where near 65 though
