Hi Steve! I also want to buid a home wheather station. Nice to find you. I would suggest to use an I2C memory chip because it uses less pins and it non volatile as the SRAM. You can download the logged data any time after logging and a power failure won't mean loosing your data. I can provide you with code for I2C and many other things I think. Don't hesitate to conntact me.
