Wind Speed and Direction down…

admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 12:44:49 +0000

Wind speed and direction will be unavailable until probably Monday. I need to go up on the roof to change the battery again… Sorry for the inconvenience.

Happy Contrails,

Mike

WSW back up!

WSW is back up following a lightning strike that ended up taking out a comm port on the host computer and locking up the data consol. The outage lasted from Monday, the 22nd around 5pm when the storms came through until today at around 1:30pm.

sorry for any inconvenience – Mike

Lightning takes out WSW

Monday’s storm zapped WSW’s data collection module – so, no live data until I get-r fixed. One good thing is that everything seems to happen at once! I’ll keep ya posted.

Wind Speed and Direction Fixed!

It appears that it is time to change the backup battery in the anemometer (wind speed and direction sensor) because the wind guage is whacked… I’ll have to go up on the roof and part way up the chimney to do it, so it may be a little while.

Thanks,

Mike

Annual tuneup for the sensor suite…

admin — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:42:42 +0000

WSW will not be sending data to the web for the next hour or two so I can do the annual check-up/cleaning on the sensors.

Monday, April 27th at 3:45pm.

…

Ok, took me a little longer than expected, but WSW is back online…

Monday, April 27th at 7:25pm

Thanks,

Mike

Live Weather and Mozilla FireFox

WSW Live Weather now works properly in Firefox’s browser!

Thanks to WSW user “ewolford” for bringing it to my attention. It has been broken for a long time and I just hadn’t gotten to it. I have tested WSW using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and my personl favorite – Google Chrome.

Hopefully, other WSW users will give me feedback here on WSWupdate – simply click “on “Leave a comment” below.

Happy contrails,
