This place has a good selection of different brands.

I just installed the Davis Vantage Pro 2 which has everything you
requested below. But be forewarned, you have to spend extra money to hook
it up to your computer. You would have to additionally purchase the
software package that includes the serial or USB cable connection.

But check out their support forum at the above site. Lots of good
information there.



These weather stations stand up to harsh weather like snow?



I didn't do a lot of research in that area as I live in a snow free
climate but I'm pretty sure they will. They sell an optional heater for
the rain gage in order to melt snow to convert it to precipitation.
Here is a link off of the Davis site. It lists various private weather
stations around the county. You can see if any are in your area and
maybe ask the people running them.

Happy New Year!
