@ "I too have wanted a weather station for a long long time."
I certainly know that "itch" and the desire to scratch it. When I retired, I finally took the plunge and set up a well-designed/well-sited station after having relatively inexpensive units for years as life in government service had me moving frequently. My next milestone is to set up a weather website which I'm going to start on as soon as the next version of the Mac OS (Yosemite) is released and is proven to be compatible with WeatherCat V2.x and one of the major templet sets. Since I have no programming experience, that seemed to be an insurmountable task but after being on this forum for awhile and seeing how friendly and helpful the members are, I'm going to take the plunge. In fact, I've already secured the domain.
Anyway, welcome aboard the forum. I'm sure you'll be as impressed as I've been. It's great to be among weather buffs running first-class software designed from the ground up for Macs.
