Why should I prepare my METOS weather station for winter?<\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-body\">\n                Winter conditions such as frost, snow, and reduced sunlight affect device performance everywhere, whether you\u2019re running vineyards in France, orchards in Italy, or large-scale field crops in North America. Preparing now ensures accurate data, longer battery life, and avoids costly repairs in spring.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"elementskit-single-faq elementor-repeater-item-cccddab\">\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-header\">\n                <h2 class=\"elementskit-faq-title\">2. When is the best time to get my weather station ready for winter?<\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-body\">\n                Right after your last irrigation or harvest, before frost and snow arrive. In Europe, we recommend completing service by December to guarantee your devices are ready for 2026.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"elementskit-single-faq elementor-repeater-item-201b8f0\">\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-header\">\n                <h2 class=\"elementskit-faq-title\">3. Do I need to remove soil moisture sensors over winter?<\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-body\">\n                Yes. In vineyards, orchards, and open fields, frozen soils can damage sensors. Always remove, clean, and store them in a dry place to ensure reliable performance next season.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"elementskit-single-faq elementor-repeater-item-ff69cb1\">\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-header\">\n                <h2 class=\"elementskit-faq-title\">4. How can I extend battery life during the off-season?<\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-body\">\n                Set transmission to once per hour, disable frost monitoring if not needed, and turn off unnecessary alerts. This is especially important for farmers in regions with long, low-light winters like Northern  Europe or Canada.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"elementskit-single-faq elementor-repeater-item-94c2c5f\">\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-header\">\n                <h2 class=\"elementskit-faq-title\">5.
