Weather Station
When we built the farm we added an Acurite Weather Station to the top of the house. It does alert us when conditions get crazy, for instance Heat Index warnings come straight to our phone, threshold based rain events eg “3.1” of rain has fallen in the last 45 min” (actual event) and things of that nature. So I thought it would be nice to track and publish.
