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?


Those are unfortunately low grade, non calibrated (or even calibratable)
mass market units. If you want accurate weather instrumentation, you
have to look at the Davis Instruments stuff, and yes, it does cost more
than $150 for a quality complete setup.
