More examples of moving the goal posts to meet the objective, not the goal of actual, truthful weather reporting. May as well put the weather station on the side of the exhaust stack of the local incinerator.

I was on an RV trip through BC, Canada recently and one night we wound up way up in the mountains late at night with no real campsites around, so I resolved to pull over at the next clearing on the side of the road near the highway and just sleep there. Lo, one appeared, it was a pullout beside the highway with about half an acre of completely and recently cleared land, and a little fenced in piece of equipment in the middle of the clearing with signs saying not to enter the fenced area. It wound up being a great night of rest, no one showed up in the morning to boot us out so we got a good sleep in and time for coffee and a dip in the cold glacial lake on the other side of the highway.

Then I got a good look at the place we were staying, and realized the fenced-in equipment was actually a weather station, and for whatever reason, all the trees around this weather station had recently been bulldozed, and that this would result in the temperatures recorded by the weather station going up by at least ten degrees mid-day post bulldozing.

They do this kind if thing for the air quality. Threatened/bribed by EPA (please get rid of!). They put monitors at intersections by firestations, where big diesel trucks run, etc.

Amazing, but Jack Daniels is average at best. It's not my first choice unless it's going in as a mixer. It's the Budweiser of whiskey.
