I got a recommendation via PM:

I recommend that you avoid the lower-end La Crosse and Oregon Scientific weather stations. You will get much better reliability and accuracy by investing in a Davis Instruments weather station. You can buy a Davis Weather Wizard III for $175.00 at http://www.ambientweather.com . The WWIII gives temperature, wind chill, wind direction, and wind speed, with an optional add-on rain guage. The station with rain guage is available for $225. I have had a Weather Wizard III that has lasted me 9 years without trouble. I also have one of the low-end stations, and it has given me trouble to no end. Another option is the Davis Weather Monitor II, which has some more features than the Weather Wizard III. For $355.00, you get the same functions as the WWIII, but with barometric pressure and humidity.

Just thought I'd give you some recommendations based on the experience I have had with weather stations.




Thanx for the info! I'll definately look into it.
