So my 8 year old LaCrosse home weather station has finally gave up the ghost. Lots of makes and models out there now. You guys have any you are really liking or dis like?
Below zero in Kansas. Pffft. Hold my beer.I've tried a few at the hunting lodge....because, well, nice to know how far below zero it is before you go out.
Right ?
None lasted a full year.
The wind speed sensors always blew apart in Kansas breezes.
Temp sensors froze and broke.
The rain gauges filled with snow, melted, then froze again, and broke.
You get the idea.
Never found one not made in Chiwanistan so that's probably 90% of the problem.
I bought a Davis Vantage Vue Weather Station three years ago.
It just works, no issues so far.
Solar powered, wireless communications w/ base station in the house.
Also bought this Internet accessory, so I can check the home weather w/ the app,

Davis Instruments 6100

Hit 50 below this last winter for a few consecutive days.Below zero in Kansas. Pffft. Hold my beer.
I’ve been using the 308-1425B-INT for a few years. No wind speed or precipitation accumulation but it’s been through the gambit of Minnesota weather.
And honestly, I have no idea where the transducer is. It cuts in and out ever now and again but always comes back.
I’d buy another one.
No it didn’t. The record low for the whole state of KS is -40.Hit 50 below this last winter for a few consecutive days.
