Citizen station N1QWW Report
Rank 692 of 729 in Massachusetts, Oct 11. The 247 rank orders a state's stations by their 247 score out of 100: how reliably they report, how accurate their readings are against a reference station, how their readings pass their checks, and how they stand against the forecast.
Equal scores are ordered by the share of scheduled reports received, then the reports due in the week (the longer record first), then the median arrival, then the longest silence.

The reports received are counted from the network's own archive of this station's reports. Its 247 rank is counted from Storm Station's own record, which holds less than 7 days of it so far: 57 of 219 scheduled reports received, 26.0%.
Against its reference: each temperature this station reports is compared with the nearest airport or climate reference station that reported within half an hour, up to 15 miles away. The figure is its reading less the reference's, on average, as both were reported; the typical difference is the root mean square. The difference in height is shown where both heights are known.

Station report
Citizen station N1QWW, in 3 sheets
Drawn from its report of undefined, in the manner of the Field Book, and opened beside the plates that explain each part of it.
At 98 ft above sea level, 0 per cent of the atmosphere's air lies below the station. The standard atmosphere puts the pressure there at 29.82 inHg and the temperature at 58.7 F; the station's altimeter setting of 30.43 inHg means its barometer reads 30.32 inHg.
On Oct 11 the noon sun stands 41 degrees above the horizon at 41.68 N, and the day is 11 h 08 min long. Level ground there takes 66 per cent of the noon sunlight a surface facing the sun would.
