of all the things I need these days, I don't need THIS - but it's got me:


A backyard weather station. :7 Not only would it be fun to have - I could learn SO much with this - but my sisters could always know exactly what the weather's like at our house, and I could be a weather reporter on WeatherBug . . . . Mrs. V. will nix the purchase, and she should. It's too expensive and I don't need it.

But look!

  • Includes advanced console/receiver, solar-powered Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS), and mounting hardware.

  • Spread spectrum radio technology can send and receive data up to 1000 feet, three times the distance of competing stations.

  • ISS includes rain collector with laser calibrated, aluminum-plated tipping bucket for the most accurate rain reading, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometer and 40'(12 m) anemometer cable.

  • Temperature and humidity sensors are enclosed in standard radiation shield and now includes a fifth radiation shield plate for increased accuracy.

  • Advanced Forecasting Console with easy to read forecast icons and detailed forecast ticker tape scrolling.

  • Frequency-hopping transmitter greatly reduces interference from cordless phones, and other 900MHz devices.
