Great Mountain Forest’s weather reports are available again on weatherunderground.com after being knocked out last week by an early April storm.
As GMF weather observer Russell Russ explained, on Wednesday “…a tree took all wires down near the end of Windrow Road just a quarter of a mile from the office [blocking the] road until Eversource finally showed up late Friday. We got power back, but our internet connection [was] down due to the fiber optic line being down.”
It took several days for Frontier to get the line fixed, but Russ persisted and now the station is back online.
In GMF’s absence, weatherunderground.com users can use Doolittle Station data from Norfolk or choose a station in Colebrook, Winsted or Springfield.
