i'm currently looking at weather.com with my zip code for yesterday's temps. What resource are you using?

I am using accuweather.com - type in your location in the search, go to Extended weather, and there is a link to click historical data near the bottom of the page.

tho i'm not doing this, i am avidly following the fun. for those of you who might, as the year progresses, forget to note the temp for a day or two, go to NOAA ...it's united states weather site or "National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration" website. on upper left a place to put your town & state for your local forcast. after you get to the forecast page for your vicinity, there are links on right side of page ..click on "3 day history" it will let you know the temp each hour of each of three consecutive days. have fun ..and i am sooooo looking forward to seeing the beautiful quilts from this indeavor. those that have done a 2016 temp quilt, please please post pics of your quilt as soon as you finish them!

I'm using something called "Past weather in Richmond, Va" it's on a web page labelled "timeanddate.com". I found it using Google search. It's a little bit of a pain to use so I may switch over to NOAA as suggested by Rogue quilter.

For keeping track--I set up a notebook. Since I went ahead and pulled all the fabrics I will be using from my stash, I set up the first page as a key, with a description of the colors and all the fabrics that I am using for each temperature range. Then I noted a general description of the quilt (HSTs) and a chart of the general layout.

The 2nd page is for January- I've noted the high and low for each day and what color I'm using.

Will try to get time to post pics tomorrow.

At first I was looking up the previous day's weather each morning and noting it on a calendar. Then I discovered that on weather.com there is a "Monthly" bar that when clicked on shows all previous readings for that month so far. So you could wait till the end of the week or month to jot them down. ;-)

Here's how I'm keeping up with the temps and weather ... just a simple chart in a notebook. I look on Weather Underground, and write down the forecast 2 or 3 days in advance, then adjust it to the actual temps for each day if the forecast turns out to be off a smidge. The check marks indicate that I've made both blocks for that day (I'm making 2 quilts).

I'm just looking at my own thermometer on the back of the house. If I will not be home during the warmest part, I delegate to my husband who I think is making it up. We are in the mountains where every area experiences slightly different weather. Will try to post tomorrow.

That's going to be a beautiful scrappy quilt, Moonrise!

Here are pics of my notebook:
On the last pic, if there is a note in parenthesis beside the temp then that means that I have made the square for that temp. As you can see, I'm a couple days behind.
