I've had good luck with the Wolverine SNaP 20MP scanner. It does slides and negatives, as well as 3x5, 4x6 & 5x7 photos. although I've only used it for slides.
Yes, it's an Accurite weather station. I have a Davis Vantage Pro II. You can get on wunderground.com and see their readings. You can find one nearest your location on https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap.
