Thanks,
I never used those weather warning radios (I like suprises) so I didn't know you could set them by county.
I have been thinking about one recently but hadn't bothered due to my thoughts on false alarms here.
Although as close as 8 miles away has had really nasty storms while it never rained here a drop, they are in a different county also (actually 6 miles is a different STATE).
Question is though I geuss, how acurate are they at geussing the counties effected? Would they still call out my county when a really nasty storm is just 8 miles away even though we may not get any of it. Most people probably are not sitting on the edge of about 4 small counties like I am and would not have to worry so much about it.
I guess the light sensor is a good idea since normally if the suns not out you don't need the panels anyway. In my case I might not use the radio, but would use the sensor.
May get a radio though anyway now and just turn it on when I see the storms comming to find out what they may be, or find out whats in my area that I am NOT getting
How hard are they to change counties on? Like a digital clock maybe, punch a couple buttons? Might be nice for traveling this area to know whats on the other end when I get there. This time of year I have hit NASTY blizzard only 100 miles away, no snow at all at home when I left or when I got back. When I say nasty I mean cars in ditches everywhere and 2 spun out in front of me. I don't worry about the weather, I worry about the other drivers!!
