Works good except if you set it to turn the light off at night, when the screen is lit up the barometric reding will rise like .03-.06 and when off it will drop .03-.06 plus even when cold below freezing it will hardly ever predict snow, it just predicts rain

This is just an all out fun tool for all weather buffs like myself. There are a couple of problems, but they are not show stoppers. I had to turn off the sound and turn the clock at a different angle as the sound was a bit too much for my tastes and the advertised dimmer for viewing at night does not seem to do much. However, once you resolve those issues, you are in for a treat. This is one of the few all color weather station combination clock out there on the market. I have it set to rotating screens so the first screen shows the time and dual alarm settings along with the year and date, the second screen shows the outdoor temperature and indoor temperatures, the outdoor and indoor humidity and the barometer with an associated graph and the third screen shows a color weather forcast. You can set the rotation to off or any way you like.
All the weather readings seem to be accurate and I am getting good wireless reception. This is a rather small weather station compared to others, but good things come in small packages in this case. One can say I find the weather station very unique. I hope this does not break down over time since this is truly a remarkable weather station.

I once had one of these, and never had the snow problem.... i ask did it ever snow when it didn't predict it?? just because its below freezing doesn't mean it will snow..... other conditions have to be right..... usually its the dewpoint that will have to drop below freezing before it predicts snow...... not just the temp
