    I used the ‘replace the two files’ method, worked just fine. Kept all my downloaded data that way, which is a huge time saver. Thanks stevengoddard, now I have to go pull back some new curtains.

  3. This is really fun to play with. Always been a fan of weather data.

    Hey Tony! I have been away for a bit, so I may have missed it, but is there a version of Pulling Back the Curtain for Linux? As always, thanks for all your hard work. You have really done something extraordinary!

    • I will release one at some point.

      Jason, I’ve been able to get it running under Linux using wine. I installed wine 1.8, then installed Qt 5.5 for Windows under wine (there are several 5.5 versions available, I installed the open source version), and then installed Steve’s program. Works fine, no problems. Let me know if i can help you get it going.

    Thanks. I’ll download the latest and replace my old version.

    Hi Tony got v1.3. works fine. I’m here SoCal and noticed San Diego, LA and SF are not included in the data. Is there a reason for this. I know the one at Lindbergh field has been there a long time though UHI could be a real issue. Thanks and keep up the great work!

    Boulder scientists warn planet nearing critical warming threshold
    ‘A very narrow window of opportunity’

    Scientists at Boulder’s National Center for Atmospheric Research are cautioning that the planet is closer to potentially catastrophic warming than is widely believed.

    However, NCAR senior scientist Gerald Meehl believes the Earth is effectively already well beyond the 1 degree C that the planet is confirmed to have already warmed.

    Meehl gets support in his remarks from colleague Kevin Trenberth, distinguished senior scientist at NCAR — but Trenberth said “it’s actually worse” than Meehl has said.

    Read the whole thing. There are some worrisome contributions in the comment section. One commenter, for example, is glad she is “closer to the other side” and has no children.

    The prognosis for this patient is much worse than Drs. Meehl and Trenberth imagine. Her therapist would be well advised to complement his treatment methods with output from Version 1.4 but it may be too late for an effective intervention.

    Thanks Tony, great stuff! Out of curiosity, how does the program handle missing data (TMAX or TMIN value of -9999)?

    • I ignore all missing or bogus looking values.

      • pmc47025 says:

        It is an interesting problem. Maybe put Good and Bogus value counters in the box with the Average, Minimum, and Maximum temperatures (and abbreviate Avg, Min, Max)? Or maybe just a % of values discarded? Or a separate graph line with % discarded values by year? It wouldn’t fix the problem but you might get a FUBAR factor to look at for a particular station.

    SG, any idea what happened in 1977 on this one?

    Just some missing data, perhaps.?

  11. I saw an item headlined Glenwood Springs in the 2/15 Denver Post. Seems the area wildlife managers are concerned that the local owls, eagles, elk, assorted wild life in their personal charge are “scrounging” for forage due to the deep snow and need some supplemental feed. Why do (the royal) we presume to know what is best for nature? Feed them now so they can starve next fall? Is this the same snow our children would never see again? I maintain bird feeders in the front yard, does than make me a “wildlife manager?” Can I apply for a grant? Maybe instead of “climate scientists” the title should be “climate managers,” would make for higher pay grades.

      That’s true when your talking about people that are generally honest and have a conscience. I don’t believe the current president has either of those traits though.
