005/366: Don't Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows

Today was a busy day-- the kids played around my parents' house for a while, then we went to the Field Days in Johnson City to ride carnival rides for a bit. I have some decent pictures and a bit of video from all that. For the official photo-a-day picture, though, we'll go with something kind of random, namely the weather station my dad has in the bac yard.

That last has involved a…
During my sabbatical last year, I decided to try to do a photo-a-day project, taking and sharing at least one good picture a day of something or another. The strict photo-a-day format fell victim to my general busy-ness and disorganization, but I did eventually complete the whole thing. In the…
Today, I officially stopped being department chair, and started my sabbatical leave. I also acquired a new toy: My new camera, taken with the old camera. My old DSLR camera, a Canon Rebel XSi that I got mumble years ago, has been very good for over 20,000 pictures, but a few things about it were…

Nice setup. Is that part of the Wunderground weather network?

What brand is this? How does it work. I bought a house recently and my backyard has it but no accompanying display. wondering what parts am I missing to make it work. It looks exactly the same and would be interested to know the model/brand of this weather station
