I have been wanting a weather station since I saw the first one 20 or so years ago.
Maybe I'll break loose with the cash and get one now.

We recently upgraded our weather station to an Ambient model from Accurite so that we could take advantage of iMac compatibility. Our home in Merlin has very local differences to even the Grants Pass weather some 15 miles from here. Indeed, differences to properties even a mile away. I put it down to the local topography.
This time the console display is situated in the living room where it is viewed frequently throughout the day!

Paul I think I may move the display to my living room after we do some remodeling. It currently resides in my office.

How tall is your post? Higher is better for accurate wind speed.
RSWorden: It is a 4"x 4" x 8' tall redwood post (16" in concrete) and it is elevated an additional 3' off the ground to 9'. It does seem to record consistently with what I am seeing reported from NWS for our area.

Good move! I can’t think why I didn’t do that with my Accurite.

Plus, one has to have it clear of the wind ‘shadow’ from trees nearby to get accurate speed and direction measurements. Something that here in Merlin it is very difficult to do.

Impossible to shield from wind shadow where I live in the forest.

I live in the center of Simi Valley. The name Simi is native American which translated means "Valley of the wind". So the city founders named it Valley of the Wind Valley. 🤣🤣🤣. It is always windy here and the valley is literally like a wind tunnel. We frequently have 60-70 mph winds. There are very few wind shadows here. I get vortices in my back yard to the point it blows the spit out of my mouth. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙄

Winds out of the west on the shore of lake Ontario are very intense. Depending on season, calm, to roaring waves 10 to 12 foot caused by 30 to 50 mile an hour winds.
The lake almost never freezes solid so we get lake Effect Snow from it.
With the cold weather expected the snow accumulation could be significant.

Wow! Presumably there are wind generators in the area?
