Here is some pictures of the first part of mounting my new station.

Supports the pole before I pour in the cement


Ensure that the pole is vertical

What worries me most is the concrete, if it will burn well until the station arrives 

I've been told that it will take much longer time in the winter, due to the low temperature.

Then my new station have arrived.



Now I know what I'm gonna do in the weekend.

When I got mine, my first thought was "BIG!"   

Be careful out there mounting it!   

You're really going to love it.

From my own experience - a few weeks ago - be carefull when setting anemometer.
I think a burr from tapping in the bore gave me a wrong position, so, I need to move down the pole, deburr and set correctly the anemometer as shown on those pictures.

Good luck!

take longer but it will cure. Concrete just gets tougher as it ages.

Sounds descriptive of some of the members here.........

Allmost ready, I just have the soil sensors left.

I will try to get them down in the ground tomorrow.

I will post some new pictures as well.

That looks great!     I'll bet you're very happy right now!   

What do you think about it?  Is it working ok?

[Axelvold]

I just love it, It is working great. 

[SlowModem]

I guess you're going to have to change the website and WU and all that other stuff you're sending data to.

Hey, it just happens! We can't help it! 
Looks good Lars! I thought maybe you had your wife or GF out there digging the hole while you watched on the web cam!

How is the rain collector heater working out?  I see what I thought was the power line leading across the lawn and up the pole to it.  How far did you have to run wire to your ISS?

Don't know yet, because it have not snowed yet.

I will let you know as soon as it have been snowing.

That's correct, It's the power to the rain heater and It's about 10 m to the connector.

I have made the changes to my own website, but what is there to change on WU?

I bought a trip to her so that I can have peace of quiet when I install the station

It looks like you've already made it.  I believe that the weather history page for you on WU listed the LaCrosse station yesterday, but now it lists the Davis station.

Are you going to take the LaCrosse station down or leave it running?

You could have both uploading to WU.  (I have three)

The problem is that I only have 1 com port on my weather computer, so at the moment I'm gonna leave it running.
