My dad has an antique Dutch "bakbarometer" he might want to sell. I've been trying to help him research the approximate date it was made, but everything I've found on the web looks a lot fancier (eg. brass, inlaid wood) and perhaps more recent.<br> <br> Any MeFites out there who know anything about dating these odd instruments?<br> <br> <a href="http://www.genmeme.com/MP3/DSC_0169.JPG">Here's the piece.</a> Thanks! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.96316 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 06:20:33 -0800 antique bakbarometer barometer contrabarometer ZenMasterThis http://ask.metafilter.com/89136/Weather%2Dstation%2Dfor%2Dextreme%2Dconditions Wireless weather station for extreme conditions? Last fall I purchased a Weather Channel branded Weather Station made by LaCrosse. It worked fine for a while and we really liked having it, but the winter up here (top of a hill in Ontario) destroyed it. The anemometer blew off in the first storm, the thermometer stopped working and the rain gauge froze and cracked. The barometer still works fine though...<br> <br> So I guess we need something more robust. The weather up here is really f'n extreme. It needs to be wireless and handle gusts up to about 100 mph, heavy snowfall, temperatures down to -35C or so, freezing rain, and all the rest of it. Any suggestions? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.89136 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:37:36 -0800 anemometer barometer station thermometer weather wireless unSane
