Dogs Run Farm is now an official weather station on
Wunderground for Dryfork, WV. I installed an Acu-Rite model 1055 weather
station, powered up the Internet bridge that came with it, hooked the bridge
into the router, and violá! Data from our weather station was available on the Internet via the
Acu-Link website and iPhone application.
I set-up an account on Wunderground, put in the data for the
weather station including map coordinates, provided a few other details, and
named the weather station Dogs Run Farm. This morning when I looked at the
weather for Dryfork, WV (26263) on wunderground.com, the Dogs Run Farm weather
station was at the top of the list, providing temperature, wind, barometric
pressure, rainfall, and humidity. That's our station: KWDRYFO3.
I’ve wanted to do this for years so that I can monitor wind,
temperature, and rainfall remotely. It was an absolute breeze to set-up, and it
worked the first time without any fiddling around. In one month, we have gone
from waiting five minutes for the Dryfork weather to load on our iPhones while
standing in front of the one window in the house where we got cell service to
being a weather station on Wunderground and having access to weather data
anywhere.
