Daydreaming topic: WeatherCat - camping edition?
« on: March 13, 2012, 05:25:48 PM »
Dear WeatherCat fans,

Our frequent contributor to the MacWeather.net and WeatherCat forum: Steve Morris has been sharing with us his experiences with the portable weather instrument the: Kestrel 4500 at this MacWeather.net forum discussion: http://www.macweather.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=534.  As Steve describes in his initial posting there, not only does the Kestrel 4500 have some amazing capacity to measure weather like windspeed, you can even download this data to a computer.

I just added a new reply to this topic asking how one might use data collected say while traveling to your collection computerized weather readings.  It is rather fanciful, but there are a number of WeatherCat fans who enjoy the great outdoors including Stu himself.  If the outdoor adventurers among us were to have a portable weather instrument like the Kestrel, would you like to have something like a WeatherCat, camping edition?  If so, what would such a version of WeatherCat do?

Since this is mostly "armchair philosophizing" perhaps it is best to keep this discussion on MacWeather.  However, I do encourage folks to express their thoughts about this - especially since it mostly daydreaming anyway!  [sleep]

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]
