On the What's New page you will find a graphic symbol for the weather condition at the Howard Prairie Lake Resort. Each day I check the weather forecast and match the graphic symbol to the forecast. Of course the forecast and the actual weather may be different. I do change the graphic symbol to match the actual weather in the days gone bye.

Click for the official temperature forecast for the resort. There is also a local weather enthusiast keeping weather records not far from the resort. The resort temperatures are usually 10-20 degrees cooler than the valley temperatures. For that reason, I have a minimum/maximum thermometer screwed to a tree (so in the shade) near our fifth wheel. The temperatures you see listed are

My minimum/maximum thermometer screwed to a tree outside my RV.
Click to see What's New at RVeCafe coming from the daily readings from that thermometer. But to understand them, you must understand my daily routine. Remember, I work in Medford during the day and Medford is my only Internet source, I have no Internet source at the lake. So I will take a morning thermometer reading which will show the accurate daily low for that day but the daily high for the day before. I can then correct the previous days estimated high temperature and enter a correct low temperature for the current day. The temperatures, then, should always be accurate for days in the past but the high temperature for the current day is only a guess.
Radio Shack Indoor-Outdoor Thermometer Note: Second weekend of August, 2005, I've discover the Taylor thermometer shown above is of very poor quality and I replaced my minimum-maximum thermometer with the Radio Shack unit to the left. Click here to read the whole story.
