Weather Station Update

I had time over the TG break to get the sensors "roughed in". I think I've found as optimal of a position as I'm going to for the outdoor temperature/humidity sensors and the anemometer is going to be inaccurate anywhere I put it (unless someone wants to foot the bill for getting it above the tree line and then getting the signal to the unit somehow), but I setup the tripod anyway. The rain gauge was also tricky since we have so many trees and need as much open ground unobstructed due to the dog. It registered a fairly correct amount (when compared to the Lynnwood official data) so I'm going to make it a permanent fixture (until we replace the deck, at least).

I'm going to let the whole thing run a week or two before getting it hooked up to the network and letting wx200d collect to it's silicon-coated heart's content.
