Ellen and I had a great day in Zion National Park, hiking and marveling at the 2000 foot tall Navaho sandstone walls. We saved the National History Museum for last and arrived, just as the thunder started to rumble. The Zion USHCN Weather Station is behind the Museum, near the Administration Building parking lot. It was a race to get my pictures of the weather station before the rain arrived. The lightning was crackling on the ridge tops as I approached the site. With in minuets the whole canyon was drenched in a summer rain storm, but I got my pictures which have been loaded to Anthony Watts’ http://surfacestations.org data base. I have posted several of the station pictures below. Note the site does not meet the 100 foot from a heat source criteria. The parking lot.
