Mill Creek is Cold!

When we started this project over a year ago, one question we all had was what are the coldest locations in the Gunnison valley? The answer was immediately apparent from our first data collection: the intersection of Ohio Creek Road and Mill Creek Road. As a matter of fact, this sensor was so much colder than the rest that we thought it was broken. A lot of careful examination of the data convinced us that the sensor was fine, and Mill creek really is that cold! To see just how cold, compare the temperatures for 14MIA with any other sensor using our Query page. I recommend looking at February 15-17 of 2023. Following the Ohio Creek Sensors down from the upper left, 14MIA is the next sensor down and to the right of the 2nd red sensor.

W Mountain Sensor!

Just added: a sensor on top of W Mountain! See the current temperature and humidity (and a graph) by clicking the link on the home page. The data is collected every 3 minutes and transmitted every 10 minutes. Data is accurate as of noon, June 15, 2023.
