And now your watch has ended: pour one out for my WS-1400-IP
« on: March 22, 2022, 06:06:44 PM »
Today was the warmest, nicest day we have had in many months, and it was this morning that my faithful WS-1400-IP failed to check in. It briefly reported an outside temperature of 8.8 F when it should have been about 60 F, and then... nothing.

Batteries? Nope. It just passed peacefully into the beyond.

I got this unit used on Craigslist almost exactly 3 years ago for $20, including a nice lazy tripod mount. (The previous owner had mounted it on his roof and had just decided that a weather station up there wasn't worth the trouble.)

Thanks for standing guard through your last winter, my old friend! o7

Now, what am I going to get?? I don't know exactly how warm it is outside now, and it's killing me already!

Sorry about the passing of an old Friend..   Still waiting for my Davis WMII to give up after 21 years in service ,  Did replace the anemometer as it was intermittent. picked up one on E-bayt for $50 thought it deserved after all these years.
