Bad couple of weeks for Wx.Ca
Well, believe it not, today's outage of Wx.Ca was not related to my continuing cable issues. Today's problem was caused by the Tini having a dead on-board battery, so a power glitch wiped out it's brains. This has happened a few times before. I reloaded it and we are up and running again. The bad cable is still in place, so that could still be an issue until it's replaced. The lightning chart is reporting very strange numbers. It's sensor is on the bad cable. This evening doesn't look like the kind of weather to be walking around on the roof - nearly the highest point in the neighbourhood too. Thanks for the offers of some cable from a couple of you - including one just a few doors down the street. I've already bought a 500 ft spool. It's rated indoor/outdoor so I'm hoping the UV won't turn the sheath brittle like on my current cable.

Sure, this month has been a bit sketchy, but really, over the years I've come to rely on this site mainly because it is has been so reliable. A commendable achievement.

I whole heartedly agree with Ianidarc. Best weather site in Calgary - can't wait for the smartphone version ;)
