Found the wind speeds not that accurate on lacrosse ones. My wind speed died first, then water. Lasted about 3 yrs.

Awesome can't wait to hear how the shield holds up for temperature is. I think Abby Sr. Is skeptical it might read too high. Just in time for the Arctic fart.

I'm sure it will have issues, but I liked the all in one unit, price and versatility.

Reading about them online, they don’t measure rain well and the products battery dies here because there isn’t enough solar energy to charge it with all the clouds.

I’m looking at the hp2553. I want to have separate wind and temp as locations need to be different. Locations exposed to wind seem to always get too much reflective radiation from the sun leading to higher values than accurate. Hope they could go on sale though.

I’ll have a manual gauge for the rain, so not too worried about that. The battery was a concern, but it has been charging just fine the last few days with cloud cover. We’ll see.

Yah, what gives link to your station, reviews pros and cons. Radiation shield does it work good for temp. Bonorman has disappeared for the season. :bs: :lol:
