Here's a screen snap from my new weather station taken a few minutes
ago. Maybe that will help to melt your snow. :-)

It was up around 80 early in the afternoon.

What kind of weather station and software do you have? I'm looking to
replace mine with something better.

It's called an Airmar PB150 and it comes with software called
Weathercaster. It is marketed by Furuno and designed for boats but
would make a fine home unit except that it lacks a rain gauge. One
of the unique things about the Airmar sensor is that it has no moving
parts - it reads wind speed and direction using ultrasonic doppler
sensors.

The sensor unit is a bit pricey but it also contains a GPS unit and
electronic compass which allows it to compute true wind speed and true
wind direction on a moving boat.

Thanks! I'd like to have a rain gauge, though. I'm looking for a
hardware/software setup. What I have now is decent, but it doesn't
couple with my computer, it's stand alone.
