Yes.

1. Barometric pressure - Motorola MPXA4115A - very nice, but
    requires a good output filter and averaging for a steady output.

2. Temperature -Dallas/Maxim DS18S20 1-wire digital
    thermometers (can bus them if needed).

3. Lightning Detector - LSU-2002 from www.stormwise.com

4. Rain guage from Dallas Semiconductor (was later picked
    up by another company).

5. Combination windspeed and direction unit also from Dallas
     (I wouldn't buy another one of these for several reasons,
     but that's another story).

6. Ming RF tx and rx modules (also wouldn't use these again)

7. All tied together with 2 PICs of course (1 outside, 1 inside).
