[Xastir] weather station

[Gerry Creager]

Geez.  You're gonna make me finish the code I've started 3 or 4 times to 
support the Vaisala WXT-510:-)  That said, I suspect it's higher cost 
than most folks would like to spend, especially without any console!  It 
is a professional-grade instrument, though, which helps.

I suspect you'd be pretty happy with the Davis or Peet hardware; plenty 
of options out there.  The Vantage Pro 2 is a good consumer unit, as is 
the Ultimeter.

One request: When you settle on your station, please check the CWOP 
pages for information on siting and location of your components at 
http://wxqa.com.  Feel free to drop me a note if I cna help with this. 
Also, please consider registering for the Citizen Weather Observer 
Program (CWOP, same site) to see that your data gets into the 
operational NWS flow for models and local prediction.
