I have finished the temperature blanket panel for 2025! This is a decade-long project. Each stripe represents the local daily high temperature in farenheit: red is 90s, orange is 80s, yellow is 70s, and so on.

To capture the entire winter and summer seasons, the first bottom row actually starts on November 1st of the previous year, and the numbers are placed on January 1st of the labeled year, and it continues up from there.

Can I ask you something? I started one in 2025 and up to Feb it was looking beautiful. But then....Trump. with his messing around with airports and weather services, my temperatures were taken down that I decided to use. They weren't tracking for a bit. I then thought maybe use black to signify the loss of data. Anyway, my question is, did you experience any of that last year? What did you do?

@kcanales02 Yeah, I've had that happen a few times, usually when there's a big solar flare. I use Weather Underground, which has data from a bunch of official and at-home stations. Even in my rural area, I can always find one near me that has a number that's close enough, it might be off by a few degrees but I try not to think about it, lol
