My Weather Station

I've always liked checking the weather... seeing how far off the local news guy would be. For my birthday last year I got (well, I bought it myself) a weather station. It's posting 24x7 to Weather Underground. You can check out my live data at My Weather Underground Site.

There's a lot of other good weather resources there, too. Lately I've been watching Hurricane Rita which should be here by Saturday evening. Should make for some interesting weather watching and hopefully nothing more this far north.

Here's some pictures of my weather station...











This is a "Stevenson Shield"
It keeps the direct sun (radiation) off of your temperature guage and makes your readings much more accurate.




And this is the remainder of the gauges on the fence... Wind on the left on top of the pole and rain down on the right.
