We stopped to have lunch yesterday and to look at a lighthouse just off of Route 135, along the northern coast of the Gaspe Peninsula. Low and behold there was the Cap Madeleine Weather Station just to the right of the light house gift shop as we came up the drive.

Grabbing my camera and GPS set I did a station survey for Anthony Watt Surface Station Project. Once we have all 1221 US stations in the data base, the global network will be Anthony's next target. So, while I was in the neighborhood, I took some survey photos, GPS position and notes for the survey form.
General View
As you can see this is a very well sited station. Well away from any heat sources and on a grassy knoll about 28 meters above sea level. I could not find a temperature plot. The station was brought on line in September 1985. It does not have a long record.
