no wind - anemometer
mackbig:
I just noticed that my wind speed is zero. It is pretty calm, but my cups are spinning. VWS and console still reporting direction changes, so I know communication is OK. Last reported wind seems to be just before 8pm last night.
This happened a few years ago, at the time if I recall I just removed the cups, cleaned up some gunk and reattached....Of course it was much easier to get to at that time. Now it is at the peak of a two story house. Luckily its still above freezing, at least for a few days...
Its possible the screw loosened a bit over the last year, since the current install was done.
Raining today, so I will probably go up tomorrow morning. Any other thoughts before I go up. I only want to do this once, if I can avoid it. I am not afraid of heights... but I dont really like them either.
Thanks,
Andrew

Your sig is showing windspeed, what did you fix?
mackbig:
I noticed... apparently at 1pm it magically started reporting again. I did nothing. So it must (hopefully) just be a loose screw.... I am still going to climb up and service....

You might want to take some loc-tight with you when you go up.
mackbig:
Well it worked till 6am. So I just climbed up. removed, cleaned, lubed tightened... no broken bones.... had a small window of no rain, 50km winds expected this morn/noonish.
Working again, fingers crossed...
