Why Are My Weather Posts Missing From Facebook.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that my Facebook page was shut down without any warning by Facebook this past Saturday, June 8th. All I was told was that I had violated their community standards. I don't know what triggered that; they didn't tell me. I was told this may be permanent or for six months.
My guess is that it may be because I posted several comments and articles from my Substack page about the riots in LA, and that must have triggered/angered someone, and they complained, thus Facebook shut me down. I don't know this as fact, though. I have appealed this decision, and I'm still waiting for their reply. I have read on X that this has happened to other Facebook users posting about the LA riots as well.
I always share my weather blog posts (that I post here) on my Facebook page and my X page. This included over twelve different New Mexico and West Texas Facebook Community sites. So there are thousands of you out there (based on my views and shares of those posts) who will no longer see those posts. My Facebook page may or may not be restored.
This is another good reason (as the National Weather Service often reminds us) to have multiple ways of receiving severe weather alerts when severe weather threatens your location. My weather web page is one of those ways, and I really appreciate all of you who have and still do use it. Thank you so much!!!
If my Facebook page is restored, I will continue to share my weather blog posts and some of the NWS Watches and Warnings...as I have been doing for years now.

The Carlsbad Airport ASOS reported a low temperature this morning of 51º which is their coolest morning low since May 5th when a low over 48º was noted.

My Greatest 24-Hour Total So Far This Year - .70" On Sept 6th.

These graphics are somewhat misleading in that locally they show more rainfall to have fallen than has been measured in some spots. A case in point is here at our home in northwestern Carlsbad. So far for September I've recorded 1.79" which is slightly above the Carlsbad Climate Co-Op Stations long term average of 1.67". However for the year I've only managed to measure 4.87" in our rain gague. Which compared to the long term average to date for the Carlsbad Climate Co-Op Station (10.37") is 5.50" below average to date. 

Much of New Mexico had average to above summer monsoon rainfall but this isn't the case locally. The Carlsbad Climate Co-Op Station has measured 1.89" so far this month compared to an average to date of 1.67". This brings the station total for the year to 6.98" compared with the long term average to date of 10.37". That station located 6 miles southeast of my station has had 2.11" more rainfall than my gauge but is still some 3.39" below average for the year so far.

Roswell is pretty much in the same boat. The Roswell Industrial Air Center ASOS has measured 1.05" for the month compared to a long term average to date of 1.21". This brings their year-to-date total to 5.09" compared to a long term average to date of 10.14".


September 2018.






2018 Year-To-Date.
(January 1st - Sept 22nd).






To date 2018 is going down for the most part locally as being a drier than normal year. Even in the mountains where some the wettest reporting CoCoraHS Stations have had 15" to 23" of rainfall so far this year.
