Default Weather station

I bought an indoor/outdoor weather station. The brand is Accurite.
It is a nifty setup that has outdoor remote sensors for temperature,
humidity, wind speed, wind direction, gives indoor temperature, barometric
pressure and a lot more. The problems, though, is the temperature readings.
They are 4 degrees low. IMO, that makes me suspect of everything else it
reads and is really about useless when it comes to a freeze warning.

I'm probably going to return it, but I'm wondering if anyone had good
experience with another brand in the less than $150 range?



Wow, 4 degrees off. I'd return it. I still use a broken aquarium
alcohol thermometer corked in a test tube and mounted where I can see
it from an indoor window. For more data than that I use the Internet
which gives me forcasts and satellite weather maps, better than
anything you can buy.
