 Amazing, Geeky and Cool! November 18, 2008

I received a well deserved "C" in Meteorology in College, but when I got the Wireless Weather Station, I was stunned at what I had missed and what this device can offer. Quite simply, an outdoor sensor (a small iPod sized `thermo/hygro sensor') placed on an outside post or wall acts as the receptor of information from, yes, the NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology-Time and Frequency Division) radio station, WWVB, in Ft. Collins, Colorado, daily. Also using the local weather, the sensor transmits tons of information to the very cool looking unit in your house. Here are some of the features you see:
*Controlled Time
*Moon Phase Display
*Indoor Temperature/Humidity Display
*Outdoor Temperature
*Date Display
*A cute Comfort Icon
*a Forecast Icon
*Air Pressure Trend Indicator
*Barometric Air Pressure
*24-hour Air Pressure History
*Humidity Display
*Remote Sensor Number
It can be read in 12 or 24 hour mode. There is a radio controlled alarm that also has a snooze (or off). Maybe you can just watch the news to get your information, but this is more than a weather station for your neighborhood - it is a conversation piece. The only drawback I could find is that the LCD display is not very bright without indoor lighting. But that's a small complaint considering all the cool stuff you get just by glancing at the display on your wall (I put mine among all my wall photos). This would also make a really great gift for anyone - weather-wise or not.

I've had several Oregon Scientific units and was not satisfied with their temp/humid readings: some units close, others way off from actual. Spend a little more for this unit and you will see that you got what you paid for. La Crosse actually has live phone tech support. The barometer feature is very nice. Response time for sensors is rather slow but for the money paid it's OK.

The Lacrosse Weather Station is an amazing product. I receive accurate temperature, barometric pressure and humidity. It is fun to watch the weather change and the 'forecast' feature of the station. Highly recommended to any interested in weather. Five stars!

This wireless weather station provides the necessary data to determine what coat will be needed, if an umbrella will be required for the day, if we will experience a humid day and the weather trend for the the coming hours. This is a very useful and helpful tool for our daily living. Enjoy.
One reason not to November 18, 2008

I can only think of one reason not to. Lacrosse makes the professional models with wind speed, wind chill, rainfall amounts that can be transferred to your computer via their software for about 20 bucks more at least at the time of my purchase. Was the best seller on amazon.com.
This is an excellent device though. I frequently check the outdoor temp with computer and almost always are exact or within a degree. Humidity readings are also very close. I wouldn't bet my family fortune on the barometric pressure forcaster but it is quite accurate. Syncs real easy which is nice. (The whole setup process is really easy). The negative is I wish I would have spent the extra 20 bucks for wind and rainfall amounts.
