Happy Leap Day! Leap year brings an extra day of winter “…because official meteorological winter is December through February, Leap Day is the last day of winter, which means Leap Years have an extra day of winter !” Click here for a clip of the “wintry mix” that we had here in Oregon this week, as noted by the Pulsar 600 Weather Station ’s Doppler radar precipitation sensor. Precipitation Type: Snow! (As seen on the Weather MicroServer display)

We are excited to release our latest white paper " How to Measure WBGT to Mitigate Heat Stress " written by our long-time friend and associate, meteorologist John Crosby. John has over 40 years of hands-on experience with meteorological, aerospace, and industrial sensors. We first worked with John when we integrated his EnviroTech visibility sensors into CWS weather stations. It was fun to meet in person when the AMS meeting came to Seattle. Most recently John has been working as a consultant under WXSensors, LLC. This guy knows what he is talking about! We welcome his wealth of meteorological knowledge and insights for this new white paper. Click here to read it , and please leave a comment to let us know your thoughts!
