No weather data available from Carpenter Ridge, Jarbo Gap, or Cohasset RAWS stations this morning. Guessing due to no power? Calm in Chico right now.

I thought all the RAWS were solar/battery powered, if they were Fed sites?

There is a national issues with WIMS as well.

PG@E weather stations (607 of them to date) appear to be solar powered and are active.
