VP2 Signal Dropouts
« on: January 21, 2019, 02:52:27 PM »
Hi, I'm not sure if anyone has posted about this in the past but I thought I would ask since I'm experiencing this issue today.  On numerous occasions during very cold and dry weather, including today, I've had an issue where the wind direction suddenly switches around to the south or SE and reports 0mph or occasionally a 1 or 2mph speed (even though it's blowing out of a N, NW or W direction and the wind cups are spinning at a decent clip).  At the same time this happens, the humidity and dewpoint spike up quickly and the temperature drops.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  It seems to happen when the temperature gets into the teens or lower during a dry arctic airmass.  It has happened to me in previous winters too, the VP2 is about 7 years old now.  Any thoughts on this from anyone?
