I fly out of O61 (near Sacramento). Because our airport is 1000 feet
above Sacramento our weather (fog) tends to be different from
Sacramento. My partner and I end up driving up to the airport sometimes
just to find the weather isn't what we expected. What does it take to
get an AWOS? Has anyone on this group been involved in such a purchase?


I don't know what an AWOS costs but I'll bet it's more than you want to
spend. If all you want to know is the fog situation a phone call to the FBO
should do fine.
