THANK YOU




Steve
Callsign W5SDC
Storm chaser, weather station technician, and linux internet domain admin

This station's first weather page went live on the internet in January of 2004. Since then, home weather stations have become much more reliable, affordable, and now provide much more data than just basic temperature, wind, and rain measurements.

It is a pleasure to have a weather station on the web and very honorable to be able to submit instrument readings to NOAA's MADIS database through the CWOP-Citizens Weather Observer Program. I also xmit conditions at 5 min intervals to Weather Underground and findu.com.

My data from Leander, Texas combined with thousands of other private stations from around the world provide invaluable data used for forecasting, nowcasting, and scientific study by students of meteorology and climate.

This station is here solely in the public interest and simply for the greater good that up to date weather information brings to Mason Creek, Leander, Texas, and the world.

This site will never try to put a cookie on your computer, try to sell you something, or try to send you unsolicited E-Mail.

Thanks for stopping by.

Big thanks to Tom Keffer for writing the weeWX weather station engine and also to Matthew Wall and Gary Roderick for their invaluable contributions to weeWX, its drivers, and its extensions. Get the whole saga of weeWX and the software at the link above. weeWX is relatively easy to configure and use even for those like me with limited programming experience. On June 26, 2017, I started with the basic HTML template that was included with weeWX and have watched this entire weather website's template grow to 2,041 lines of HTML over the last eight years.



SILENT KEY
Elwood Downey
RIP since Jan 29, 2026

The astronomical position calculations used in the Heavenly Bodies section of this website were written by Mr. Downey. The last time that I heard from Elwood was in April of 2024 when we exchanged photos of the full solor eclipse on April 8th. Both his friendly attitude and his ingenious abilities will be sorely missed.
