precautions for bad weather
« on: December 31, 2007, 06:03:00 PM »
I just got a Lacrosse 2316 and it's set up and running well. I was wondering though, will freezing rain, ice, prolonged freezing weather, etc pose any problems? We get a freezing rain event a few times a year here, and I understand it is less common in most of the rest of the US. Any advice is appreciated.

No freezing weather will not harm the station (ie rain guage). However the anemometer might freeze up.



Thanks,

Thanks! I was hoping I wouldn't have to go on the roof while icy.
