About the ESWB
Welcome to the East Street Weather Blog! I’m John Hadden and I’ve been watching the weather and observing the sky here since 1986. I’ll be posting daily updates of weather observations, astronomical info, and commentary on what’s going on in the sky here in Huntington, Vermont. You can also find my Personal Weather Station feed on Weather Underground at KVTHUNTI3.
A note about the forecasts I give: I pull my information from a couple of different sources, mostly from the Weather Underground and National Weather Service forecasts and discussions, and from a couple of other skier-focussed blogs during the ski season. I’m not a trained meteorologist by any measure – just an entusiast – so I definitely rely on others!
I hope you enjoy the blog!
Hello John,
I just found your site today – it’s terrific. I would love to emulate it at my own weather blog but I know I’d never do as good a job. Thanks for setting such a fine example. The nature pictures are an incredible bonus!

Thanks Mary, I’m glad you like the blog! Don’t be daunted in your own efforts–just give it a shot! The photos are something of a motivation for me as the blog gives me a regular avenue to show them.
Take care,
John

I’m sure you hear this a lot, but you got the best weather and the best historical data, which are very helpful to me as I have a farm and I’m an engineer by trade… thus I love numbers
Keep up the great work!

John,
So far you and NYT are my only subscriptions on email, because I want to choose what hits even my virtual desk. The photos won me over!

Hi John,
We’ve been wanting to post our data to wunderground so our family can see the weather here, and so we can track our data over time. Do you know if we need to purchase the additional software? I’d love to talk to you about this and your setup sometime.
I live in Huntington up near the upper village and also have a Davis Vantage Pro2 weather station. Santa’s little gift last year

Hi Carmen,
Yes, you will need to purchase some software as well as a “Data Logger” to make the connection between the station and the internet. Depending on what kind of computer operating system you have, there are several choices. If you go here: http://davisnet.com/weather/products/weather-reporting-software.asp you’ll see what Davis offers. On my Mac I use an app called “WeatherTracker”. Let me know if you need any more assistance!
Cheers,
John

John-What kind of a camera and lens do you use-especially for your close up nature shots?

Hi Marcia,
Thanks for your comments and thanks for subscribing to the blog. It seems like there’s been a hatch of dragonflies in the past 24hrs as I noticed quite a few flitting about this afternoon. As far as my equipment, I’m shooting with a Nikon D90 and using a Tokina 100mm macro lens for most of my close-up work. More to come!
Cheers,
John
