Any of you have one you would recommend?

Pro/Con, Brand/Model, Price ...
 
You know Bob that is something I always wanted also. They keep getting better every year being wireless and all. There's about 4 times a year I would really liked to of got some information from it. Thats the first problem, justifying it. The next problem is I have a remote clock/thermometer right now and it seams like the sensors go bad after a couple years. So anyways I would love to have one but just don't want to send the money for it until I find someone else that has one and likes it. HUMMM I guess thats kinda what you were asking also. Have you checked Amazon and read any reviews?
 
I've read reviews as much as I can stand. They're all mixed. People either hate 'em or love 'em.

That tells me that it's all about setup ... or every brand has a 50% failure rate!

Part of the problem might be that I'm staying in the $150 range. I can't really costify $150, much less so the $800-$1000+ models!
 
I've always wanted something too but you get what you pay for. I'd rather not have one that isn't accurate or breaks in a couple years than spend the $500+ for a good one.
I have a wireless indoor/outdoor temp and humidity that works well and that's enough for me right now.
There's wine to be made for that $500 instead.
 
I got one it's the best really cheap too....and it's never wrong... it's called a window and door I stick my head out of either and can tell if it's cold/hot/ wet or dry works day or night it doesn't matter........sorry couldn't resist

I use oregon scientific instruments fairly cheap and reliable at least for temp and such
 
Sirs, I have the upgraded model of that----it's called THE WEATHER CHANNEL
 
If crows fly low, winds going to blow; If crows fly high, winds going to die.

Whether it’s cold or whether it’s hot; We shall have weather, whether or not!

No weather is ill, if the wind is still.
NEWS and weather; they travel together.

A sunshiny shower won’t last half an hour.

Rain, rain go away; come back another day.

Clear moon, frost soon.

The moon and the weather may change together, but change of the moon does not change the weather.

From twelve ‘til two tells what the day will do.

The more rain, the more rest; fair weather’s not always best.

When sea birds fly to land there truly is a storm at hand.

To talk of the weather is nothing but folly; when it rains on the hill, it suns in the valley.

It rains as long as it takes rain to come.

The sharper the blast, the sooner it’s past.

Yellow streaks in sunset sky, wind and daylong rain is nigh.

Year of snow, fruit will grow.

The chill is on, near and far, in all the months that have an ‘R’.

Rainbow at noon, more rain soon.

The south wind brings wet weather...the north wind, wet and cold together; the west wind always brings us rain…the east wind blows it back again.

When a cow tries to scratch her ear it means a shower is very near.

Onionskin is very thin, mild winter is coming in. Onionskin is thick and tough winter will be cold and rough.

Ice in November to walk a duck, the winter will be all rain and muck.

Rain before seven, quit by eleven.

When the stars begin to huddle the earth will soon begin to puddle.

Evening red and morning gray speed the traveler on his way. Evening gray and morning red bring down rain upon his head.

Rainbow in the east, sailors at peace. Rainbow in the west, sailors in distress.

Pale moon doth rain, red moon doth blow, white moon doth neither rain nor snow.

When the dew is on the grass, rain will never come to pass.

Rainbow in the morning, shepherds take warning; rainbow at night, shepherds’ delight.
 
You forgot:

Red Sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in the morn sailors take warn.
