Review: Oregon Scientific WMR200 Professional Weather Station
We've had the Oregon Scientific WMR200 Professional Weather Station for just about a year now, and can safely say it's a really amazing weather station. Setup and maintence has been a breeze, and we've found the data it's provided to us on rainfall, wind, and general weather trends to be both accurate, and interesting.
It might look daunting, but setup requires only about an
hour of your time. Once it's setup, it's also very easy to move
around your yard and try new locations.

Taylor Color Wireless Weather Station - Perfect Gift for Father's Day
The The Taylor Color Wireless Weather Station is priced right at just under a hundred bucks, and even has a NOAA weather radio on board. It features a 3 inch color display, that shows the temperature and dew point inside and out using the remote sensor. It can also store max and min temps over a number of days, and show phases of the moon. We're not sure if they'll add a barometer or wind gauges, but we can always hope they might. This weather station is a first however, as it features a full color display.

First Impressions: Oregon Scientific WMR200 Professional Weather Station
So far we've really been impressed with the Oregon Scientific WMR200 Professional Weather Station. The interface for the touch screen weather data is really quite well done - easy to read - and easy to navigate. The set up of the weather station was also pretty straightforward - it took about 45 minute to deploy all the sensors and set them up in our back yard. We'll have more details as we test, but so far so good.

In-Store Sightings: Oregon Scientific Crystal Weather Station
We visited Sharper Image over the weekend, and spotted the Oregon Scientific Crystal Weather Station. The crystal weather station is really impressive in person. The crystals of sun, rain, and clouds look pretty amazing, and the display is also very clear and easy to read. The heft of the crystal weather station is also impressive, and we think this is one of the best looking home weather stations we've seen.

Want to add a new interface to your weather station? This cool article in italian will show you how.
[Fickara] sent in his AVR interface(in Italian) for an Oregon Scientific remote weather station. Thanks to the AVR, data is output via RS232. There are quite a few less expensive weather stations - usually PC output models are over $100, so this could be pretty handy. His page has several other projects including an oscope clock, POV on a stick, etc.
