No sneet or snizzle to go with your turkey and cranberry sauce, it looks like. Beyond that, who knows. More in new blog post soon.

Todd, here’s the one I have but at half the price I paid. This one is a steal. Explains what you get from wunderground also. Everything but the batteries. Also you can download Culumus free.

Paul, weather underground offers a deal and puts it on their site free. My Ambient had a deal where they gave you a years subscription to wunderground [10.00 dea] and wunderground is worldwide on PWS. Wunderground is free but costs $10.00 for the upgraded package.

For Todd…I have an original Davis Vantage Pro I that I have got about 6 years but is about to be retired(the solar charge is starting to fail and will be problematic in the winter). If I remember right, Quags has a Davis Vue. Any of the Davis products are quality but at a price premium. Range, material quality, and update speed resolution are all factors to consider.

I am evaluating myself and looking at the Ambient 2080 with a second console so I can plug into an IP weather server. My early New Years resolution is to get my weather station data online!!

Weather station list from Ambient with some decent prices:

I’ll plan to post something new this evening. For now, will let KP’s last post sit another day.

I think the overnight cloud cover prevented the lows from going into the teens. It is 20 this morning up on the ridge. Another chilly, calm, frosty morning.

Todd, I have the Ambient WS 1090. I have been thoroughly pleased with it. A good wireless station from the post to the house with all compenents at the station location wired together. And reasonable in price. Probably the best for home use is the Davis Vantage Pro, but that comes at a higher cost. This is my 3rd station. The first I don’t even remember what it was, besides junk. The second, a LaCrosse, I sent back. If you want to go to wunderground weather site then scroll down to the bottom, you’ll see Personal Weather Stations. Mine is KVAROAN020. This will show you what you will get. Ask anything you have questions about and I’ll try to get an answer.

Ahhh, the map that appears in the link of your 11:36 comment is the one I had in mind, I guess. Meanwhile, it is 29 starry degrees here.

Hey, Ken in Marion and Rick (of Wytheville), guess which towns are tied with Pearisburg for the warmest forecasted high temps today, according to Leo H of WDBJ7?? Marion and Wytheville at 52*!!! Blacksburg and Roanoke expected to get to only 49. Even Southside locations like Martinsville and Danville only expected to reach 50, probably because of the cool, wet blob in North Carolina that will brush that area.

However, we have yet another “Disagreement Day” between “7″ and TWC for Roanoke’s high temp. TWC thinks it will get to 53 here.
