Dense Fog Advisory
Statement as of 4:33 AM AKST on January 19, 2016
...Dense fog advisory will expire at 5 am akst early this
morning...
Fog has dissipated in the Juneau area. Visibilities at the Juneau
Airport has improved early this morning.

- Editor: This has always been my understanding (since
the 1970's, and my father's decades before
that) and I thought historically for the
U.S.A. until the current office-holder of
the Presidency came on the scene and then
the Constitution "got in the way".
The rationalizations began then and continue
to this day; albeit with different candidate(s).

- Having first heard Panamericana on an 8-Track tape in 1970 or 1971, performed by The London Pops Orchestra, I decided to look into the history of the music. I already knew it was written for the Pan-American
Exposition in 1901 but I didn't know much
else. I looked up the information on it and
found that the Exposition was held in Buffalo,
New York, from May 1 through November 2,
1901.
I also found that Nikola Tesla's recently
invented 3-phase system for the transmission of alternating
current electricity was key in the decision to have the Fair
in Buffalo since transmitting electric power
from hydroelectric plants built at Niagara Falls 25 miles away became feasible.
I also learned that it was at the Pan-American
Exposition that President McKinley was assassinated.
For those interested in more information
on the Exposition, I found this comprehensive
site about the Fair at: Pan-American Exposition of 1901.

NWS Freezing Rain Advisory will Expire at 6 AM AST early this morning.
Statement as of 5:50 AM AKST on January 09, 2016
...Freezing Rain Advisory will expire at 6 am akst early this
morning...
Temperatures have risen above freezing over much of the Juneau
area early this morning...causing the freezing rain to become
rain. They will remain above freezing through the day...and any
localized areas still below freezing will warm above freezing
through early morning. Up to one tenth of an inch of ice
accumulated in some areas...so there may be localized icy patches
early this morning before the ice completely melts...especially in
the Mendenhall Valley.
This will be the final statement on this event.
- *At 0411 the High Rain Rate Alarm sounded, .08"
of Precipitation was recorded within 5 minutes
causing a High Rain Rate of 13.09" of
precipitation per hour. It was sprinkling/very
light rain at the time and the only thing
I can figure is that because of the warmer
temperatures the Rain Collector finally thawed
out and the melting frost and any freezing
rain/pooled rain after 0230 - 0300 all released
in a few minutes. How much is from the frost
and how much from rain I don't know. Unfortunately
I cleared out the .08" thinking all
or most of it was from frost that had accumulated
over the past several days. The NWS however
recorded .06" - .07" at the Juneau
Airport over the same period. The problem
is my website is updated from two sources,
the Davis VP2 Console and the WeatherLink
database, which can cause conflicting data
on the same page. The console is the problematic
one because there is limited ability to modify
bad data once it has been recorded, or to
add missing data back in. In the case today,
I don't know how much to attribute to frost
versus rain and then how to have the proper
data display without discrepancies. The High
Rain Rate values have been corrected by substituting
fixed values in place of the tags in the
.htx template files until such time as they
have been superseded. This isn't feasible
for the ever changing rain values.
