About Weathernerd

Welcome to the home of Weathernerd.com, the site for the home weather enthusiast. Weathernerd.com offers live up-to-the-minute weather information from a weather station based in Savage, Minnesota, USA.

Weathernerd.com originally started as WeatherWire.org in Fall 1998 and moved to WxGuy.net in 1999. Since then, this weather site has evolved into a widely used resource for Minnesota weather enthusiasts and has been visited by some well-known weather personalities. Did you know that according to recent surveys, weather is the number one reason that people watch local television news and it's one of the top five reasons that people surf the Internet? Weathernerd.com is here to bring you accurate weather information and provide you with numerous other reliable weather resources. Whether you're looking for a forcast or wanting to learn more about the weather, you've come to the right place.

In October 1998, I purchased a Davis Weather Monitor II weather station after being introduced to an Oregon Scientific WM-918 by a friend of mine. Although I always enjoyed weather and even considered choosing meteorology as my career, it wasn't until I purchased my own weather station that I realized my passion for weather as a hobby.

In 2005, I upgraded by weather system by purchasing a Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus weather station. You can find more information the Vantage Pro2 Plus here.

I recently acquired a Davis Vantage Pro Wireless Weather station. This is the predecessor of my current Vantage Pro2 but will also be providing data and is fully operational. I plan to use this station for developing and testing new weather software.
