Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

[ldm-users] Weatherx.admin.niu.edu brief outage

Due to very wet snow, we lost our NOAAPort signal. Yes, we do have a snow cover on the dish, but...almost zero data is coming through:

http://noaaport.admin.niu.edu:8025/

Every now and then, we'll get a low-bandwidth data piece from IDS and HDS to come across, but that's it. I thought the LDM on weather3.admin.niu.edu would step up and grab everything else off the backup site, which is UNIDATA. But, since it isn't, I manuallly flipped over weather3.admin.niu.edu to use idd.unidata.ucar.edu as primary, and all is well now. When wet snow comes down very hard, it's the only time a snow cover can't handle it well. First time in 4 years we've lost the signal for more than 20 minutes or so.
