My favorite was the US Federal Weather station that was
placed directly in the exhaust of a building air conditioner.

Ummm... like this wx station mounted on top of the HVAC units?

It's the weather station for the Santa Cruz sales office for KSBW. I'm
told it isn't used for forecasting or data collection.

All of your local NOAA stations are up in the mountains -- Ben Lomond,
above Los Gatos, La Honda. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools/findstation

Do you have that wild-eyed look in your face as you're trying to
pass this sort of crap off? EVERY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT contains
a Federal weather station. In case you're unaware of it, temperature,
atmospheric pressure, wind speed and wind direction are important.
Most cities contain weather stations that meet Federal standards
and that too is added to the temperature and wind records.

I can't tell if that's addressed to Jay or me. I'll assume it's for
me.

The two nearest airports to my house is San Jose (KSJC) about 30 miles
away, and Watsonville (KWVI) about 20 miles away. KSJC is on the
other side of a 3,000 ft mountain range and has radically different
weather than from my house in Ben Lomond.

The SJC weather station is located in the middle of the airport, which
is the ultimate heat island dues to the heat absorption from the
concrete and asphalt:

Most of the sensors are also affected by jet wash heating and
turbulence. KWVI is much better and is located away from the runways
and major heat and turbulence sources:

Their primary purpose is to supply current weather data for landing
and takeoff and are part of the ASOS/AWOS aviation weather systems.

If you fly, such information is vital. If not, don't bother.

Tell me, are you preying that the world is going to end like the
environmentalists are doing?

Not to worry. All we need to do is start another shooting war and all
the concerns and activism on behalf of environmentalism will disappear
overnight. I watched it happen to ecology and the protest movement
after Kent State.

Jeff, that was pertaining to Jay who is so far in over his head that it is unbelievable. He implied that there were some sort of magic weather stations when even the weather stations on top of TV stations feed data into the NOAA database.

Now that he knows that you're a weather fanatic perhaps he's come up with some other ridiculous subject to be wrong on. This is surprising to me since most of the lawyers I've ever known were extremely conservative because they see life up close and personal every day.

Jay appears to be completely blind. He probably thinks that those lawyers defending Trumps Trollops are doing so because they believe them.
