New weather station at Spiritwood


After considering options for years, I finally installed a weather station that can record to my computer and share online with anyone.

The device is an Acurite 5 in 1 Professional Weather Station (model 01036) — and purchased for the remarkably low price of just $60 from Costco. Time will tell how well the plastic sensor unit lasts on top of our laundry-line pole!

It took a bit of fussing with fairly obscure “instructions” to get everything connected, but now it is sending data to my computer and publishing it on Wunderground. The current status of the sensors should display below. Click it to open my weather history data on Wunderground’s site.
