88!

its pretty steady....78, 84, 87, 88

82

I bet the NE has it also.. Someone needs to test it there too. All that toxic snow...

91

nobody cares I guess..

Dang...
It just hit 97.

I care...scary stuff. Best way to avoid danger is to stay inside?

Sometimes the reading shoot up like that before an earthquake. However, it could very well be the snow.

Hey, wait a minute...
Take a look at the legend, the monitoring station in northern Mn is of the "pancake" style.

"*Readings not Equalized means the Monitoring Stations are broadcasting the raw radiation count from their Geiger counters, without adjustment for different count rates existing between various Geiger counter designs. For instance, models built around a "Pancake" (see Map Legend) style of Geiger-Mueller tube typically have about a 3 times count rate over Standard tubed models, so their readings in CPM would be expected to average about 3 times higher."

Its more accurate, but the pancake detector doesn't detect shit that isn't there.
and its CPM so CPM is not a guess or maybe 3 times higher BS, it is what it is.





Alert Level = 100 CPM

real alert level 65+

its still 80+ thats no good.

look at the other pancake style with the bold circle outline.
they aren't in the 80's.

I agree Radiation Network is pretty dodgy in there wording....maybe some radiation dick will chime in.

93 that cant be good

95 come on!

thats no good

good catch OP , 5 and a suggestion

I had dark snot instead of dusty.

Just hit 99, yikes!

102

Its not that no one cares, but I don't know what you're talking about, what the implications are of readings like this. Not everyone is a weather wonk. I'm interested in this but need more info. Are you saying there are high radiation readings in the snow in MN? Why would that be?

102

The "old" alert level used to be 50 cpm. Now it's 100 cpm. There's a very high reading 102. Not just the snow but the air. Higher readings around that area off/on last year also.

Ah crap. I checked Radnet when I got to work, soon as I saw those numbers I came here to find the thread.

Monitoring for info
