Those seem like unpreventable accidents. You won't catch covid if you quarantine Last sentence is not true unless you live alone in a cabin in the woods, and yes most accidents are preventable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dying in a plane crash or hit by a car walking on the sidewalk just doesn't feel preventable to me on the part of the victim. I could see your point. If you never leave your house. One could say that's the point of covid quarantine. But this is a temporary measure versus say permanently refusing to ever fly or walk down the street. Is it considered preventable on the part of the driver or pilot? I guess... But the victim? You can't do anything to prevent it besides luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quarantined but my wife worked and several of her coworkers got it mildly. I was nervous for a while. But now we full open and not at least concerned with anything. Life goes on.

TalcottWx Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hey folks... I'd love to buy a more advanced wx station. Connection to the internet and mesonet is a must. I want to be able to easily check it on my phone. How much would it cost? Also... Needs to be able to move easily. I won't be here permanently.

It's all wireless, you could mount the station to your deck railing. Wouldn't get @dendrite approved accuracy, but still get a good idea of temp and rainfall.

Do you actually have a spot to site it properly or would it be on a balcony against the side of the building? There’s not a lot of point spending mid range money on a station if the rain and wind is getting blocked by a building and you have radiated heat affecting temp reading from a roof or vent. If you’re around the $150-200 mark you’re talking Ambient. $350-400 and it’s a Davis Vue. $600 and it’s a Davis VP2 with FARS. $1k and you’re getting into the high end Davis with solar/uv/soil sensors.

A FARS is superior to a passive shield as well. So even though it’s the same sensor the other factors make a huge difference. If you want the most accurate temps possible…you pretty much need to go with a FARS. Maybe a station on the beach or on a summit sees negligible difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I will probably get this one. AcuRite Atlas 01007M Weather Station with Temperature and Humidity Gauge, Rainfall, Wind Speed, Direction & Lightning Detection for Home Forecast So there is a link with frequently bought together... Do I need to get all those extras? @dendrite This will be set up off my back deck. I don't have a better option. It's better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 So if I buy that station, I don't need it to be hard wired in any way right? It would run off batteries and connect wirelessly to the indoor station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one from Ambient Weather that works that way. It's fine for my needs. You will need a hard line for the base station inside connected to your router.
