Oregon Scientific WMR-100 - This personal weather station is both sleek looking and damn accurate. It has a remote monitoring station that works up to 300ft. In addition to showing the expected temperature, humidity, barometer, etc… it has a wind sensor and collects rainfall amounts!
	2008 Farmer’s Almanac - Is our five day forecast not enough for ya? This 215 year young book has been forecasting entire seasons with 80-85% accuracy. They use both historical data and modern astronomy like analyzing sunspots to make their predictions. This book is a great resource to get an edge on picking a wedding day also.
	Rainbarrel - Go green and get someone a rainbarrel that catches rainwater from your roof spout. They have a built in mosquito screen to keep unwanted pests from contaminating the water. Interesting fact: Every inch of rain that falls on a 1,000 sq ft surface is equivalent to 600 gallons! Check your area’s average rainfall to get a better idea of how much potential a rainbarrel might have

   RainTube is a company in Oregon that makes wonderful ‘green’ rainbarrels. The outside is a decorative wood made from 100% recycled wood (from Mount Saint Helens blown down trees), the interior barrel is made from 100% recycled juice containers. The company itself is very ‘green’ and has won several awards for being so ‘green’! Not only are these rainbarrels made from 100% recycled materials, they are beautiful and affordable. I love mine!
