The SCTA web site has the lake bed weather in the El Mirage file. open it and look at El Mirage weather. This is SCTA's weather station that Mike Manghelli set up up on our property.

Here is the link to the new SCTA Weather Station at the SCTA Property. At the top of the page you can also click on Summary. I included a conversion chart below.

Glen,

For some reason the link under El Mirage does not bring up the property site. It brings up El Mirage Recreational area, which is different.

http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/overview/CAELSRVA?from=search_vert

So for now until they get it fixed use the link I provided. Or on the Home page of SCTA under where it says our next event, click on "Weather Station at El Mirage" and it will take you to the right page. Or just click on this link,

  I found the National Weather station by entering 34.634361 and 117.548889 at Google Earth.

   4500 ft up the road from ranger station and about 41/2 miles from start.

  After finding site, find ruler on header bar and you can maneuver the mouse for distance from different areas.

   Don't enter latitude or longitude or you get shanghaied to China :-

If you use the link to the SCTA weather station I have posted in previous posts, go to the bottom of the page and where it says  "view page units as" change it from Metric to US Imperial and it will give you the rain total in inches.

Or here is a new link for the display in inches, for those of you that are interested in bookmarking this site.

I hope this helps eliminate any confusion. Also don't forget there is a Summary button at the top of the page for your viewing.

It may be hard to get an answer from Tiny. He passed away a few weeks ago. Someone should change the title of this thread - disrespectful.

I'll change it to "Rain at Elmo" if that's okay with youse guys.


Hmm.  That didn't do it.  I'll see if I can find a different method.  Stay tuned.  -27F at the local airport last night -- the electrons and photons are moving slowly around the Upper peninsula of Michigan.  Maybe my changes will work their way through the system when it thaws.

How about locking the thread (with the original title) as a memorial and moving the last few entries to the other, just started, thread?

Heard that there was a little water on the lakebed and that it was likely that we'd be running this weekend but that was on Saturday and things can change obviously.  How wet is it and what's the outlook for this week?
