I received a Davis Pro weather station for Christmas. Tim insisted we get the cabled version rather than the wireless one as he argues that the data collection is more reliable. My previous weather station, a Digitech, tended to drop out every time the rain blew too hard or when it rained, so he may be right.

The hardest part of the installation was the cabling., which still isn’t finished properly. Being an older house, there are lots of little nooks and crannies (or gaping holes) to shove cables into. Even though the temperature was in the low to mid 30s this morning, the inside of the roof wasn’t too hot, due to the insulation blanket the builder put in when we replaced our roof last year.

We just have to connect the data logger to the server and we will have lots of info on our local weather.
