| On the second day of August, my brother brought his wife, daughter
and grandsons to the Morton Arboretum. My wife and I brought our
daughter and son in law and joined them for a fun filled day. The
boys helped me collect some GLOBE atmospheric and hydrology data.
It was 33.7 degrees Celsius. That sounds better than 92.66 degrees
Fahrenheit.

I chose this site in April to study the freezing next winter. Look what happened to the Slough in August. (Left) The Plants took over. |

We checked the cloud cover, cloud type and recorded the 6 day min/max temperatures. It was 33.7 degrees Celsius. |
Dan pulled in a water sample and we checked the PH and conductivity. |
We used a turbidity tube to measure how clear that the water was. We also recorded the Latitude and Longitude from a GPS receiver. |

Teachers know how to have fun. |
