http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KMACARVE4 This weather station also links to Weather Underground which is also cool Not sure how to add my weather to my signature via HTML.. It would be great to have the weather underground sticker in my signature! Ray
Hey ray, have you tried to add it to your "Sig"? Even if you just used the link provided above. Cool seeing what's going on at your place. http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KMACARVE4
All I can add is the link but can't seem to add the weather "sticker".. I will add the link though but the visual would be so much better.. Ray
OK so I have to say I am really pleased with this weather station! I can't imagine a better weather station for the price.. What's to like you ask? I like the online Acu-link site which is loaded with info including trending for temperature, barometric pressure, rainfall, wind, humidity etc. The smartphone app is also great but less detailed than the web but still handy for backyard info on the go. You can also broadcast your weather at weather underground website which is being improved. All these features are included so all you pay for is the weather station. Would I buy the model 1055 Acu-rite weather station again? Yes, I feel it is a great value and helps you to understand what influences weather. The weather base works OK but I tend to look at the web and phone apps more often. If you can get this weather station for $103.99 like I did I say go for it! Ray
I may try that one out Ray. The one we had got destroyed in 30mph winds and had no apps to go with it. Did you order from accurite?

Hi Ray, How are things going with your weather station, do you still like it. I'm thinking that I might finally order one.
The good: Can view weather from anywhere with smart phone or computer. The bad: Signal intermittently drops out but fixes itself (suspect I am not set up ideally as to line of sight). The mini weather forecast is generally wrong but that isn't that important to me. Overall I still like it and rarely look look at the screen to see weather.. Much easier to see online or with phone.. Really like the online with the trending feature. Verdict: I think it's a good deal for what you pay.. Batteries seem to last a long time (still have original batteries installed). There are lots of reviews at Acurite site.. Tech support was helpful when I had a problem(see next sentence).. Try to set up so everything is line of sight for best results and don't believe the 300' range! Ray
Zap, I don't know what you have for a phone but I use my iPhone for current weather, forecasts, and radar, plus I have a wireless rain gauge that tells me how much rain I've gotten in the last event, day, week, month, year, etc.
Just Tracfones, we might get something else this fall. We don't use them much so that's why we have the Tracfones.
I just checked AccuWeather, we have a realfeel of 36 tonight, I think we'll have a fire just for the heck of it.
It looks like they're not longer making the 1055. Is there a newer version that's similar? I'm looking into getting a weather station that I can monitor remotely from my phone and tablet.
