I must confess that initially the use of --date or --to and/or --from and the use of the "T" struck me as complicated and not very intuitive. As far as I am aware wee_import and wunderfixer are the only utilities that use a date or date-time parameter (wee_reports accepts a timestamp), though I

For separating date and time, one strategy I've seen is to use a "T". Then you don't need the quotes. So, a date range would be: --date=2016/09/28T03:00-2016/10/02T12:00 But I can see another issue. wunderfixer uses a different format: --date=-mm-DD Personally, I prefer this to /mm/DD

Thanks Tom, Matthew and Gary, I upgraded without any issues. One thing I noticed though is that the Weather Underground RapidFire rest posts are now logged by default. I added 'log_success = False' to my weewx.conf to disable it. I have a Davis VantagePro 2 and it was logging these every coup
