Steve:

Is there a way to make the "New Record" light for "Longest Wet/Dry period" optional. For two months now I have the light flashing every morning. It's not that we don't have any precipitation; it's just coming down as snow - not rain - and thus is not recorded by the weather station. Maybe even a switch in the INI-file is possible, so I can turn the calculation of "Longest Wet/Dry period" ON during the summer and OFF during winter?

An option to turn the calculation on and off is rather more involved than I'm prepared to do right now, but an option to stop the lights flashing is fairly easy, so I can do that.

Steve:

After installing built 1027 and inserting the line

Code:
NoFlashWetDryRecords=1

as the last entry in the [Station] section, the record light continues flashing every morning. Am I doing something wrong?
