home weather stations

[nsmilligan]

How many of you out there have weather station? I've had a Davis Weather wizard for about 10 years, and just upgrade to the new Vantage pro. With computer monitoring ability ( which the Wizard had but I didn't use) and the abilitly to re-transmit data to other stations etc, even in my mostly rural setting it will provide useful data and records. Though it can't truly forecast the waether I think it will provide an extra comfort zone in the event of a lawsuite, and with the ability to re-transmit data will provide a useful storm alert tool.

I've got an Oregon Scientific, but it crapped out after about a year's use. I'd like to get another one, but I'm leary of my experience with this one.
