Jon,
If you installed the 5n1 on the top of the shingles, I can't imagine how high above ambient your thermometer must run. While I agree with everything else you have said above, I don't know how you can be thrilled with that installation?
The nice thing that hopefully will transpire soon with the Atlas line, is the ability to install the thermometer and rain bucket near ground level, and have just the anemometer section on the roof tops.
While I had my 5in1 on the roof, I had to use a different thermometer to send to networks because my readings were up to 20 F too high. After a few months, my anemometer "froze up" because of the dry heat pouring into the sensor, causing the lube on the ball bearings to become useless.
