couple of trees that might block the wind a bit from that direction, but looks like not much you can do about that?

most residential applications will not have the perfect place to install the station

The Vantage Vue is a give and take. I have mine mounted up high for wind readings, but I think my temperature readings suffer because of this. Plus, my neighbor has a 2-story home, thus wind readings from the north-west may not be very accurate. All in all, I am satisfied with the unit.
