Not yet. We would need to see your weewx logs. Please set debug=1 and restar weewx.

What kind of computer are you running on ? From your prompt it looks like you are logged into a NAS?

AttributeError: module 'locale' has no attribute 'format'
Afair there are several threads here already regarding this, since I don't use belchertown I am not 100% sure, but I think your version of belchertown needs to be updated.

Thank you, that was indeed my problem.

So I edited: weewx-data/bin/user/belchertown.py
and replaced 
locale.format
with 
locale.format_string
Thank you.

And surely you have some version of Belchertown that you got from
somewhere. Which and from where is probably important!

I don't use this skin, but my impression from the list is that there is
a continuation fork with many fixes/updates (and probably new bugs
too; that's just how software is!).

So you may wish to seek out the fork and try it. But at least people
know which bits you are running now.

Greg - there are two at a minimum.

Both seem to act the same for me in my testing so far.  I haven't tried to keep up with the differences.
