I own this* one and it is set up on a pole off of my deck. I connect it to wunderground.com and anyone can look up data from my station. I'll be sharing with this service as well now that I know about it.

There are much cheaper options than that one if you're interested in hosting a weather station. I decided to install it since I live in a relatively rural area and there is a fairly large gap in coverage where I live. Now I can get more local data and my neighbors can benefit as well. If you live in an urban area odds are a lot of the stations you see on the coverage map are just like this. When I lived in Austin I had a lot nearby readings and if you dig into the info tab for each one you'll see they're personal stations people are sharing.
