The overcast of this early morning left and the clear skies were ushered in on a brisk Northwest wind. That wind has died back this afternoon to barely a zephyr, but the temperature is continuing to fall. I did note that my temperature sensor was getting much more sun this afternoon that it needed, and that caused the recorded temperature to be much higher than it really was. I have now built a shelter to keep it on the north side of its post and shelter it from the direct rays of the sun. It still needs some tar-paper and shingles to cover the roof, but that can wait a little while, or at least until it warms up a bit to make it comfortable to work outside. In the end I may need to get a small solar powered fan to keep the heat from building up inside that shelter.
