Yes it is. I got the weather station from a Thrift Store called Shelter Thrift in 1999. I started putting the weather station up in a different location, then when I moved I put it in the other location. The bad news is that Tropical Storm Ernesto took a bite off the wind direction sensor and left the ananometer behind. When I moved the station fell apart and I have to get a new one soon in the future when I get a house.
Is this a homebrew annemometer or a commercial device? It's pretty much windy every day here and I have had to replace commercial annemeter sensors several times for they ware out so fast. That's good that yours still works since 2004!
Its a commercially made one yes, but the wind direction sensor got blown off by the tropical storm winds during Sept 1 2006 when Ernesto started to hit us bad with flooded waters. I will be moving to an apartment soon with someone I love and will be monitoring temperatures and possibly getting a small version of a weather station for an apartment next year. If likely the old one will be replaced by a new one from Wind and Weather. take care for now.
Looks like a Downeaster weather station. They make pretty decent wind sensors. Should work for a long time!
