Propeller-Head? Moi
Dagny is rolling her eyes by now, but I just have to post a banner showing the local weather conditions at... Atlantis Farm.
On Monday I received my new weather station, assembled it and installed the batteries. Tuesday evening I mounted the sensor suite on a post in the yard. Tonight I installed the software and connected the console to the PC. Then I configured it to upload data to Weather Underground every 5 minutes, from whence this banner originates.
Dagny thinks it's cool, but not as cool as I do.

jk votes for "very cool." Should we find it a home in the left navigation bar with the blogroll and archives?
Posted by: jk at February 1, 2007 11:13 AMMy vote is for "very sweet."
Posted by: AlexC at February 1, 2007 1:46 PMI live about 12 miles from jg, at about the same elevation. You can bet my weather is pretty close. I think we need to get the Pennsylvania weather now. AC? I'll find them both a home in the navigation bar.
What concerns me is that the Longitude and Longitude coordinates could be used by the forces of darkness and the enemies of modernity to program into their GPS bombs.
Posted by: jk at February 1, 2007 5:01 PMDespite what I might think, I'm not sure Mrs AlexC would think $1,000 for a weatherstation would be that "sweet."
But my zip code is 19426 if you're interested.
Man... I'd like to see my poolside temp on the web though....
Posted by: AlexC at February 2, 2007 12:24 PMI forgot. I was reminded on TV this morning that Pennsylvanians predict the weather with rodents. You wouldn't need a $1000 weather station.
Happy early spring! Happy Groundhog Day!
Posted by: jk at February 2, 2007 12:29 PMYes, I was hoping you'd make it a permanent addition.
There are other stations available for way less than $1K. Some are from Davis (wireless version for $100 more) and some from elsewhere. I got a 40% discount on Davis through my employer that I could proxy for any interested ThreeSourcer.
There are other personal weather stations that may be even closer to you JK (and anyone else for that matter.) They can be viewed graphically here. (Just enter your zip code)
Posted by: johngalt at February 2, 2007 9:13 PMHere are the personal weather stations around Collegeville, PA (zip code 19426) presented graphically on a Google Map. Which one is closest to you, AlexC? Maybe we can create a banner for that station.
