Dear WeatherCat Davis fans,
The Davis E-news is out for August. You can read it here:
http://www.davisnet.com/news/enews/index.aspThere are two new enhancements to the Davis Vantage Pro-2 line. The first is a redesigned rain gauge collector cone with spikes to keep birds from using it as a landing perch. Here is the photo included in the newsletter:
The other enhancement is a modification to the UV meter to improve accuracy when the sun is relatively low on the horizon. Apparently both will be available as parts that can be added to an existing station.
The E-news has its usual snippets about Davis. Alas, they have demonstrated a complete ignorance of one of the most majestic and powerful steam locomotives ever built - The Union Pacific Big Boys!
What?
Ya' mean you haven't heard about the Union Pacific Big Boys either?
For those of you who are
challenged when it comes to
steam railroad enthusiasm , you can read more about the Union Pacific Big Boy class of locomotives on Wikipedia:

Cheers, Edouard
