wxmeddler Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Just had a ****ing pine tree take out my BRAND NEW DAVIS WEATHER STATION. great. That is a true casualty.. I'm so sorry for your loss. Those things are usually pretty sturdy, it may have just covered it. Did you have it mounted on your house? How is the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 That is a true casualty.. I'm so sorry for your loss. Those things are usually pretty sturdy, it may have just covered it. Did you have it mounted on your house? How is the house? It's out by the garage and the garage looks to have taken the brunt of the fall. I'd go back out and look but there's another pine tree right next to the one that just fell and I can see it beginning to bow. Not gonna take any chances. I believe the main unit is still working because it was updating after the tree fell, but the anemometer might be shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
