This inexpensive weather station has really been good! It was easy to set up, easy to sync to Wunderground, and seems very accurate. I live at 9000 feet in the Rocky Mountains, and it is (sadly) normal to have gusts in the winter that approach 100mph. I have had this for several weeks now, and it has held up nicely to the wind. Also, the design of the head unit seems to keep snow and ice from accumulating on the wind vane.
