@Tom
I'm still pretty new to Weewx and don't know all the options yet.

You can also use the Seasons Skin, as the console skin uses its own 
directory
See the result with Seasons 4.10.2 skin (untouched)

@Greg,
>and thus won't work if either - you don't let your device report to the 
cloud
- the internet is down

That's correct.  
You absolutely need an account at davis.com and an internet connection and 
report to there cloud.
Ask DAVIS if you would like to provide a local query (API) like Weatherlink 
Live.
At the moment this option does not exist at all.
