  I had the ULTIMETER weather station from Peet Brothers for several
years...but I think lightning got it one day. It was an older model, but
I rarely had a problem with it...except changing the batteries for it
every so often.

  Check www.peetbros.com -- they have good equipment. I think they're
still in business. However, living in a rental apartment with the wife
now...we can't have any outside stuff. It's just as well...lightning
seems to follow me everywhere I go...I've been indirectly struck twice,
and been under a tornadic funnel cloud once.

  As a result, I really can't watch weather videos (especially
tornadoes) anymore...that gives me nightmares.
