What's your setup? Do you have it posting to a website, CWOP, wundeground, etc.? What software do you use?

Just picked up an Acurite 900WES.

Gathers local weather information [temperature, humidity, rain, wind speed and wind direction] and sends it's data to databases such as the NWS, CWOP or weatherunderground.com.

I've got a small set up, nothing fancy. It's not an IP station, just transmits to a display in the house.

Was just looking at the same one recently. When we move into our new house I'll probably get something.

My parents have a cheap one and I like it. I'm not as much of a weather nut as I used to be, but I still follow forecasts and like to know what's on tap. It's amazing how many people really pay no attention at all (my GF included).

Yes, I have the previous model to the one you've shown. Mine doesn't have a color display but does integrate with the phone etc. I use it often out of curiosity. I don't believe I set mine up to display on any of the websites though.

Same here. Folks have one set up on the dock, and have the display inside on the bar.

They're nice, faster than data from a website.

I have a Davis Vantage Vue. While it doesn't technically allow you to site the sensors per "standards", it's nice to have it all in one package.

I upload to CWOP and Weather Underground primarily. Use a free software called Cumulus on local computer.

The company I work for has several stations set up around the state and post all of it to Weather Underground. Helps us with personnel allocation without having to rely on inconsistent meteorologist.
