That one looks good, CE.

I think with weather stations, a higher price really just means more accurate.
How accurate do any of us really need?
There's a lot more weather stations available now than when I bought mine.
That one you mentioned looks like it has a lot of features.(y)

LOL Addy/Mitch, would this be a decent one for the money?
I don't have personnel knowledge about it, the reviews at kolhs say it is ok. Looks like it covers what you want to see, and 125 with your 30% off go for it. If you don't like it take it back.

125 on amazon, rated in the 4 plus range. So why not!

Well we are getting really bad winds now .I thought before was bad .I took the king for a walk and came back and could not get the storm door closed after I got him in .I thought i was going to break my brand new storm door .I covered the daffodils again with mulch .I hope I can save them .It is warm out at 50 degrees but that wind is something .My neighbors down the road lost some of there vinyl siding but the king and I rescued 3 pieces from the woods and took it back up to there house .I didn't see it but the king was growling at it .I guess because it was moving and strange looking to him .They said the lost roofing shingles off the garage also .
