Home Weather Stations?

Any recommendations? Looking to spend around $300. I really know nothing about this at all, but my mom and I are thinking about getting one for my Dad's Christmas present.

It has be very tough since we live in a ridiculously windy area.

(Second row from the ocean, between two large buildings which accelerate the wind.)

I have no experience in any. Wunderground lists a bunch of different options though. It's worth checking out if you haven't already:

Let us know what you get him. I've always thought they were cool.

I've got several of the LaCross all in one models too. Mine are the simple models but I think they also sell units where you can connect in a wind direction and speed indicator too.

I would ask a weather nut like Roger Hill (wxman@vtlink.net) who is behind the Weathering Heights site.

I have a similar LaCrosse. Mine is wired though. Well, the wind thing and the rain gauge are wired to a sensor, which transmits wirelessly to the base unit.
