Re: Real Time Weather Stations on the island
The park has parts on order for the Mt Ojibway weather station. Should be back up and running soon.

Re: Real Time Weather Stations on the island
The Windigo station is not as exposed as any of the others? I can imagine a difference, particularly in winds, between being in a deep, sheltered cove (Washington Harbor) and up on the ridge line like Ojibway or out on an exposed rock(Rock of Ages). It’s interesting to watch the reports from the different locations.

Re: Real Time Weather Stations on the island
If you are comparing the Rock of Ages (ROAM5) and the Windigo (Ozaagaataang) weather station, you can just pretend the Ozaagaataang station is on the moon and the RoA station is on Mars.
Someone showed me how to read the Windy.com app/weather and you can really see the differences that occur east and west of the mouth of Grace harbor.
