Further to what Vince said, WeeWX runs the report generator and re-generates reports when a new archive record arrives. When using software record generation (as I understand is the case with the Weatherflow UDP driver) WeeWX synthesises a new archive record when an out-of-archive period loop packet arrives from the driver - if no loop packets arrive from the driver then no archive records are generated and no reports are generated. This may give the appearance that WeeWX is 'frozen', but I think this is better characterised as the 'station' is frozen; WeeWX is still running just sitting waiting for loop packets. A characteristic of this situation, if using one of the included skins, is that the date-time displayed on, say, the Seasons home page and included plots does not change. This situation is usually very apparent when you look at the log, there will be little or no activity and certainly no report cycles appearing in the log.
If a driver emits loop packets that contain no observational data then WeeWX will generate archive records, albeit lacking in observational data, which in turn causes reports to be updated. In this case date-times on the likes of the Seasons home page and plots will update, but the displayed data may be stale or N/A. Usually not so obvious in the logs as everything is working, it's just that no data is being presented to WeeWX (actually depending on the extent of driver's debug output the lack of data from the driver may or may not be evident in the log).
