Happy New Year to All!
Just wanted to introduce myself. Have been interested in weather for years -- especially in my business traveling days. Purchased a Davis Vantage Pro2 a few years back and have had it running in my backyard at the top of an architectural trellis, with a console in my office and another out in the family room. When I retired a while back, I've been using the current info to just keep tabs on temps and weather outside, and let me know how to dress and get ready for early morning (pre-dawn) walks with my Golden.
Have decided to begin tracking things a little closer. Recently installed a Rachio sprinkler controller that allows me to select a Weatherunderground station for it's purpose. Also in-process having a 7.7kWh solar system installed on my roof. Have been doing some current research on personal weather stations in the past few days, and decided to step up my game. I have a WeatherlinkIP on it's way, and will be relocating my ISS in the next couple weeks. It's present location is far from ideal and needs some attention, so a new mast is also in order.
The ISS should be in a little more optimum location/height for temp/humidity readings, but no, the anemometer won't be 10m high here in my close-nit neighborhood -- but it should be a lot better than it is! I have a lot of reading to do around here; look forward to learning from you-all, and putting my station online in the near future. More to come! Bert
