The digital weather station was made possible through the efforts of Lower School Science Teacher Lyn Streck and DA Grandparent Dr. Peter Travers (Beata '23), who submitted a Wish List request for the station that was granted by the 2013-2013 Parents Association. This fall, the outdoor digital monitor complete with anemometer, barometer, thermometer and rain gauge was mounted by Chad MacKenzie DA's Head Groundsman at the rear of the Lower School near the LS Giving Garden. Now operational, the real time data collected at the station displays at the following URL: http://rainwise.net/weather/dalowerschool thanks to Forrest Beck, DA's Network Manager.
Since the data collected at the station is viewable on the web, all of our divisions can use this teaching tool no matter what subject is taught.
So check the weather station for THE FORCAST at DA anytime you wish from any browser! There's even a weekly forcast and radar image! Eat your heart out *Greg Fishel!!

Wishing you fair weather always,
Mrs. Kontos & Mrs. Streck
