Have you checked the weather on Tecumseh lately?

Have you had a chance to check out the weather station on Mount Tecumseh yet?  Current weather conditions are recorded every fifteen minutes and then displayed on the Rey Center website. If you took a peek this past winter, you may have noticed that some of the equipment was temporarily down.  Conditions can be harsh at 3,800 feet!  The weather station sustained damage to both its anemometer, which records wind speed (ironically, the anemometer blew off!), and its solar radiation shield, which protects the temperature and relative humidity probe from direct sunlight.
Thanks to our Plymouth State University weather station intern, Joe Molloy, and a willing and adept volunteer, Ken Vallery, all the equipment is up and running again.  Check it out!
