I am seeing a weird problem with the lightning distance value, where the
distance gets stuck reporting 10!
I copied the [[Corrections]] scheme shown earlier in this thread.
I'm pretty sure I got it right, because it works most of the time.

But, I've now seen several storms with lightning and and the
lightinig_distance value gets stuck reporting 10 forever after!
I see the 10 repeating in the database, so I believe that weewx is
generating that number and sending it into the database.
Here's a look in the database using DB Browser for SQLite.
Note how a distance value of 5.64705882352941 from the Acurite Atlas
appears and then it's 10 thereafter.
You can see the lightning_strike_count is zero.
The "else None" part of the condition statement appears to stop working?
