Weather Data
« on: March 13, 2010, 04:36:13 AM »
To receive weather conditions based on your location next to your posts, just enter your location. To do this go to Profile -> Modify Profile -> Forum Profile

The software will read City, State. ie Norfolk, VA or Norfolk, Virginia

I like this idea! Just like over at Eastern US Wx Forums. Question...do you have to have such detailed obs, or can you just include basic info? Just wondering.

He already answered that in the first post. :) He wants to include an icon, the current conditions, temperature, and wind.

Very awesome!!!!!!  It's like bringing each of our locations to YOU!

Would we be able to choose which icon set we'd like to display? ;)

The whole idea is interesting to me, but too much weather data can really clutter everything.  I think mentioning the location with a weather icon, current conditions, and a temperature is sufficient as that's basically the focus of the CC screen on a LF.

I like the idea, although do you think you could use weather.com's reports? There are some areas where airports are very sparse, including where I live.

I think we should use Weather Underground...for obvious reasons...:\ The personal weather stations are *much* more reliable than TruPoint, plus the issue about airports. There are many stations on WU...I just think it would be a better choice for accuracy.

I agree with Jonathan, I rather we use WU obs than TWC's obs.
