    Unique Weather Station
    By AJ from Long Island on 12/22/2006
    Pros:
    Accurate, Battery backup to AC, Color, Easy Controls, Lightweight
    Cons:
    No Radio, No Wind Meters
    Best Uses:
    Daily Use, Home Use, Watch The Weather

    This is a one of a kind weather instrument with an atomic clock, a colored screen that also shows an animated weather forcast with sound. It gives accurate readings of the indoor and outdoor temperatures, indoor and outdoor humidity and barometric pressure. The barometer has a graph to show trends. One note is that I had to mute the sound as it was keeping me awake at nights even with the volume setting set to low.
    Due to the small LCD screen you can not see all the information at once. However, you can choose to have this information rotated either slowly, medium or fast to view the screens or just lock one screen in at a time.
    While this really is not meant to replace an alarm clock due to the lack of a radio and some various other features it still has a duo beeping alarm that works well.
    This is a very neat and compact weather station which one can say is nice to look at, takes up very little space and at the same time does what it sets out to do. It is different than other weather stations when you consider that this is the only color weather station I know of. I would give it 5 stars if it had a couple of more features thrown in for good measure. Even with that said, it is still a great looking and fun weather station.
