I live in CO and live on a ridge at 8,300 ft.... our house shakes
when the chinooks kick in.  Last November I remember gusts of 85MPH.
Phew!  Anyway, we bought the house and it had an analogue wind meter.
We'd like to collect more information:  hi's and lo's temp/wind...
so I did some research and what I found was a product from Davis:
Weather Monitor II

check out the following URL, they'll beat any price:
