Great work, a little info for you on the USC site. My family and at least four other groups use that little area for tailgating during football season. The building across the street is a post office with roof parking The station is well fenced and appears to be well maintained with nice shade trees. The street next to the station is Vermont Blvd, a main bus route in that part of town.

It’s a setup I tell you, a dirty, lousy frame. You dirty rat, I’m gonna get you, for what you did, to my weather station!

Great tale, I could almost see Steve Martin feeling up Racheal Ward in ” Dead men Don’t Wear Plaid.

Re NPR: me angry sorry immediate reaction remove if inappropriate here or put somewhere appropriate
Concerning you story about Antarctica ice today
I find it amazing that you have not checked the facts
from IPCC sites
University of Illinois
http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/current.365.south.jpg
Antarctic ice ABOVE normal for past 6 Months and growing dramatically
Sea Ice Index (type in search) SH ice 35% ABOVE 2008
World mean global temperatures DECLINING since 2004 Hadcrut Hadley decline very marked recently
http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/climon/data/themi/g17.htm
To date declines again very marked Univ Alabama
http://discover.itsc.uah.edu/amsutemps/
pick your atmospheric height
Also there is intense volcnic activity underwater in that area
so increasing ice in SH + warm waters underneath = ice cracks off and melts?

I mean, like, it’s bad enough that these stations are homogenized. But why do they usually turn out to be pasteurized?

The parking garage location would be a 5 while the USC location would be a 4.

And that more or less matches the change in temp and ithus conforms with the CRN rating system. (I can almost hear the screams from a certain other blog which shall remain nameless.)

Are both station classifications, LA (1999) class 5’s … doesn’t look like it?
