I don't remember station 3 or 4 being there a few years ago, maybe it was. Right now I'm approximately in the center of 1,2,3,4. At the moment there's about a 5 to 6 degrees difference between 3 and 1. It wasn't a scientific comparison :-), i remember looking at the weather on the site one day and noticed the temp was about 10 degrees different at that moment :) Waitman
