Club Announcements

Hey folks.

Weather data is online. This just came together, so there may be some hiccups...if you see a lack of data, please email me so I can look into solving the problem to make the system more robust in the future. Big thanks to Warren for doing a ton of troubleshooting and patching buggy wview code.

For the moment, we are just streaming to weather underground and using their charts. We have a simple/short idea for doing our own custom charts on our own site...if you want to be involved, let me know.

Thanks!
