I've had a little more time to think about Cameron's needs and wants and I'd be more inclined to just use a single weeWX instance and log all loop packets to a database and then scan past records afterwards that have little or no changes between them and delete them. That way when something actually happens you have, depending on console and sensors and all that, 10s of data readings per minute, rather than 1...
