    Has anyone any experience of the La Crosse brand of weather stations? I'm considering getting one but I want to get some feedback before I do. Are they any good or is there a better brand?

    Probably third in line to the Davis vantage pro and the oregon but yes a good brand and decent on the prices in their range.
    There big into being stylish about the stations and nearly each model differs.Just be careful if you decide to upgrade your station by adding accessories,to get the accs for your model and especially if its wireless.They seem to vary from model to model.

    Bug, no way in hell was it 0.2°C anywhere in Wicklow this morning, my minimum was 11.2°C, even Mothman's sandy soils can't reduce the temperature that much!

    Funny you're mentioning glitches. Mine's saying that the lowest for today was -10.9 Degrees at 12:33 last night. Can't be right :eek:

    Just bought a WS 9152 for €24.75 in Decathlon. At that price I just couldn't help myself. :rolleyes:

    Seems to be working fine, but where to put the transmitter, you experts? :)

    Where is this decathlon shop? Was there any other weather equipment there like rain gauges?

    There's a few in the UK, but I was on Hols in France at the time. Dunno about rain gauges.

    The shops are well worth a visit, if you were nearby, as they have everything sporting under one gigantic roof. Think B&Q for sports.

    English shops

    French

    Excellent, thanks. I'm off to France at the end of next week so I'll try and find one:)
