Hi Kate, and welcome.
Good to see more people joining in.
I came in through a back door, so to speak.
I am more into Home Automation, basically HomeSeer, and have always had a fascination with the weather.
HomeSeer can control a lot of devices depending on the weather, interfaced with Weather Display, hence I made the jump and purchased a Weather Station, Weather Display, Wether Display Live, and joined this forum, plus a couple of others along the road.
Wow for one month that was a shock for the bank.

I have always been fascinated by the weather, sailing has a bit to do with that, however, to watch what is happening around and what is going on here is fascinating.
Welcome Aboard Kate.
