Ok now I have stopped weewx and did a delete of the weewx.sdb. I did a start of weewx. That was at 2:22PM and that time is still showing on the web page. it is now 3:15PM. all other functions are working I think except the wind sensor. No rain yet either. How can I add the accumulated rain to the data base? I have 31.87 inches recorded so far this year on my other system. It does not connect to the computer. Thanks Don
