I was in the driveway once when it hit, very exciting.- Hide quoted text -

I want to get a semi-decent weather station. Any recommendations?


I have a LaCrosse 2310 and it is a fairly good consumer grade unit but
no match for a "real" one
My wind speed sensor is currently on the blink. I replaced the little
propeller unit with no joy.http://esteroriverheights.com/esteroweather.jpg


Thanks, I'll check it out! Radio Shack has some fair ones, but for
stuff like that, they're usually priced pretty high.
