So I bought me a weather station for my wife to give to me for Christmas. But with this coming cold snap I had to get it set up early so I can get the readings of what (I hope) will be the lowest temps of this winter. It’s the Ambient Weather WS-2000, I have it set up to be visible on the Ambient Weather website. Would like to have it show up in Wunderground as well but that can wait for a convenient time.

Thats the same unit I got last year. So far so good. Some of the sensors I bought with it have failed but over all its been pretty reliable.

Good to know, so far my readings are in line with others around me so it seems good, I've wondered about ordering some extra sensors for around the yard.

I just bought the same system a week ago and have enjoyed it. I have mine online with both Weather Underground and Ambient Weather. Hope you enjoy yours as well.

I got a couple extra outdoor temp/humidity sensors 2 temp probe sensors and 3 moisture sensors. They were about half the normal cost at the time I picked up WS2000. I wish I would have got more at that discount! Everything still works except two of the moisture sensors conked out on me. Also if you let the temp/humidity sensors fall over the display will probably quit working.

Congrats on your purchase/gift! 

I don’t think the anemometer will work well at that height, but it may still not work well 30’ higher either. It looks situated ideally for the thermometer.

That's exactly right, my primary concern is accurate temperature measurement,  so I placed the assembly accordingly, besides the anemometer will be fine to tell me the wind speed I will personally experience in my back yard, which is good enough for me.
