[Weather] Fwd: OWW Humid/Temp Sensors

[Corey Touchet]

I brought it in and dried it out.  The RJ45 had some pins that burned up,
but it functions using the screw down terminals.  I'm resiting it and going
to seal the top of it up so that water can not flow down into it.

Water did not blow into it.  I had it mounted in a home made radiation
shield that was connected to some pipe up to a T section that had the rain
gauge on top of a similar mounting.  I forgot to plug off the pipe from both
ends and when the rain gauge bucket topped the water went down the pipe into
the radiation shield and dropped it right on top of the sensor.
