airdvr 210 #1 January 3, 2014 Trying to compare temperatures and patterns in 2012 vs. 2013 in my area. I was able to find this page http://weathersource.com/account/official-weather?location=44319&start-date=03%2F01%2F2012&end-date=03%2F08%2F2012&subscription-demo=1&sid=ut4hakeug2k8kqhfj389s1hgr4&search=1&station-id=40031&latitude=40.9872&longitude=-81.531 bit it limits me to a 7 day window unless I'm willing to pay. Anyone have any ideas on where I can get this information?Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #5 January 4, 2014 Tink1717Can someone explain "Degree days" to me? I have never understood them. Easy - How many degrees above or below standard times how many days. It's used to calculate heating and cooling needs. For example, if it's 20 degrees above the standard for one day, that's "20 Degree Days." Or, if it's 5 degree above for 4 days, that's also "20 Degree Days." The theory is that you'd need the same amount of A/C use over both time periods. A lot on the "hot" day; less each of the "not so hot" days, but still the same total amount for the 4 days. It actually works over longer periods of time and bigger temp swings. The local fuel oil companies use it to figure out how often to come and fill the heating oil tanks. They know if it's been really cold, they need to come sooner. If it hasn't been cold, then they don't need to come as soon. The "Degree Days" allows them to calculate it. They figure out each customer's "Gallons per Degree Day" based on past usage, and then only come out as often as needed."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
