Probably a Davis Vantage Pro Wireless, which I also own. You can get a "bucket warmer" for this station which requires some nearby AC power to keep the tipping bucket warm enough for measuring water equivalent snow. All kinds of accessories, and I think I am going to get another station plus repeater down by the pond just for curiosity sake.
I have own my station for 8 years now, and with a few minor problems such as ants getting into the remote unit I have had not problems. Ants apparently are conductive and when they crawl across terminals make you think it is raining pretty hard out!
Anyways there are some great hobbyist/serious weather folks out there which I am one of. My station on FindU:

And on the Weather Underground:

Sooo... yes, these are highly recommended stations and are affordable for the quality. There are other stations that cost much less, but their accuracy is horrible and survival rates are miserable.
Now, before I completely thread-jack, I bring you back to your daily programming.
