4306
you can see the read out screens of thousands of personal weather stations all across the country.

Of course they are LARGER than the little chickeny chit that is supplied from my screen shot above.

That would make a good mobile app but you can also enter any zip code on google and get weather.
The person weather stations aspect of it is still cool.

These are real weather stations. Not some hair ball guess at your location based on distance from the big city or airport.

Are you saying that they're run by atheists?

Weather involves science and Christians are morally opposed to science. Only God can decide when it will rain and where. Of course, you can always pray up a storm to wipe out New Orleans or Haiti. That's what happened in the past.

Kantronics made a "WeatherNode" in the early 90s for use with their other packet-radio equipment. IIRC, you could hook it to one of a KPC-4's radio ports and attach a transceiver to the other, and users could gateway from one port to the other in order to read the weather data. It would also beacon the info if so configured.

The ambientweather stuff is cool. We've got 3-4 of these within a mile or two last I checked. Fun stuff -- you can plot wind history and a lot of stuff that's hard to find elsewhere. A decent weather station for this runs a grand or so.

I see now. The picture is starting to come together.

Hence the inaccuracies of forecasting.
