Weather search question

Funkmasterr · Post by **Funkmasterr** » March 22, 2005, 5:44 pm

I am trying to find out what the temperature was each day from december 15 to december 30 of 2004 in Chaska, Minnesota. Anyone that can provide me with this exact information from a credible source will get 100 vv's. Thanks ahead of time

While it by no means is an official weather site, this person seems to know what he's doing and has gathered information from other sources.

Scroll down about half way and click on 2004 and you'll see an image with various charts.

the top one is the average temperature at the Minnepolis Airport (of which Chaska is a suburb) along with where the temps landed.

doesn't give you exact numbers per day, but shows that it had ranged from -10 in mid-month to about 50 degrees by the end of the year.

The monthy records at Weather.com seem to show an average of 10 to 28 for that area...

I found a bunch of the average things too.. See what I am trying to get this info for is this.. I work in construction management, our cement company poured a foundation and did not seal all their work properly. Because of this (combined with how cold it was) the concrete settled wrong and we had to rip it all out. He is being charged for it and insists its bullshit, so we are trying to pull together the exact temps for those days specifically to prove he did not take the necessary precautions, and effectively run him off of our site

I may have to just go to the city hall and search some records, there has to be a way.

call a TV station local to the area and ask them to provide the high/low temps for that period? They reported it so they should have the info archived...

Dont call a TV station , they are useless. Call the airport that was listed above. The tower or weather office will have ALL info for entire time the airfield was open. When I was working in the weather field we kept at least every hour records , sometimes more weather dependent. The best place is to go to the airport and request the data, they are great people and will gladly help. (we always did) The Official report can be coppied and used in A Court of Law. They are legal documents and will hold up , unlike a TV weather site, who get all thier info from an outside contractor like Accu Weather or whoever.

Summed up
Get weather from an Airfield , thats where it all comes from anyway.

What do I win?

http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstat ... &year=2004

Keep plugging in the dates from Dec 15-30 and you're set.

Scroll down and you'll see the temperature readings taken every 5 minutes for each day.

Or this one is probably better which shows every day but not every 5 minutes:

Winnow for the win. Feel good about yourself winnow, you just assisted me in firing a company from my site that needs the work badly, and will likely lay off a handful of people because of me firing them

I was in the twin cities area from about the 23rd through 30th, remmebering it was damn cold (like -10 for highs) near christmas, but it couldn't have been that cold for 2 weeks. Just maybe 3 nights.

Off topic, is that really your license plate llafer? Something I have noticed is that in rural areas, you see more custom plates. But I think of all places in the country, minnesota has the fewest. I almost never see one here, then on the other hand when I spent some time in southern Illinois, it was rare to see someone without a custom plate.

Yes, that is really my plate (new vanity plate designs this year, so I have to get a new one -- they do that every 4 or 5 years in Kansas).

If I recall, in MN you have to pay the extra fee for the vanity plates every year, which is why is isn't as common as other states.

In KS it is $40 extra once to last for 4 or 5 years (until they get a new design and decommision the previous version).
