The webcam is working great on my Windows Home Server.  The only down time it’s had was a power outage about a week ago.  The server is on a ups and ran for a while with no power, but that only lasted about 30 minutes or so.  The ups on the actual weather station computer (a Guruplug) lasted for the entire outage (about 3 hours) and the station never missed a reading.  So some degree of success there.

I’d been having problems with the rain gauge not reading.  I disassembled the gauge and made sure there was no blocakge and the tipping buckets could move freely.  I didn’t see anything wrong so I reassembled the gauge.  We’ve had rain several times since then and the gauge worked fine both times.  I have no good explanation, but I’m glad to have the rain gauge working again.
