Definitely seems faster

Looks like if there is a cool down it will be a quickie as there is no blocking showing up yet.

Edit: Just sent the host a support ticket to see if they have any suggestions on hardware improvements we can get.
I just tried to log in on IE and got the dreaded can't reach this page so that issue is still there Stuffers. :?

GFS 18z keeps it interesting for Super Bowl Sunday and a few days beyond, then warmup by the end of that week. 12z CFS back on board with cold around that time too and beyond.

Okay so it appears I have fixed my weather station but unfortunately, I lost all of my January data. To prevent this from happening in the future, I am going to be keeping a manual backup record on my computer of my daily data in the event the station itself malfunctions.

I'm not sure why, but when I changed the batteries in my temperature sensor, it started giving me readings that didn't seem accurate at times and the signal reception kept fluctuating up and down as if the connection was not stable. Further, when I went to change my rain gauge batteries, it randomly erased my previous January totals and added 116 mm on for yesterday when in fact it hardly rained at all yesterday. I don't know if there was just a dud in my replacement batteries or not. I'm thinking the issue may have been that I changed my monitoring station batteries prior to changing the batteries of the individual sensors. I did this so I could reset everything on January 1st at 12:00 AM and figured I could change the outdoor sensor batteries another day. But perhaps its best to change them all at once. The instruction manual does give the setup order as follow: Temperature sensor, Rain Gauge, and Monitoring station. So maybe I have to do it in that order for everything to work properly. I don't know but I've replaced all the sensors and monitoring station with brand new batteries and it seems to be working perfectly now that its all reset.

I don't think I will be buying any AcuRite products again. I'm also going to be looking for a better station.

Does anybody know of any 5 in one stations that don't have to be mounted on the roof?

Not sure why a station would have to be mounted on a roof.
