[Weather] 1-wire humidity sensor for outdoor use?

[Colin Larsen]

I'm interested in the answer to this too. I have killed 2 HIH3610's over 
the last year, and was thinking of heading down the road of building a 
full blown Stevenson's screen type box, in the hope that it would keep 
the elements away from the sensor.

Cheers
Colin
