Hi, It may be better lately, last time I checked was a couple of years ago! http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/hdfForecast?query=los+altos+hills Station #1 on the map comes up as being on the other side of the 280, and it looks like it's up on top of the mountain. I don't remember station 3 or 4 being there a few years ago, maybe it was. Right now I'm approximately in the center of 1,2,3,4. At the moment there's about a 5 to 6 degrees difference between 3 and 1. It wasn't a scientific comparison :-), i remember looking at the weather on the site one day and noticed the temp was about 10 degrees different at that moment :) Waitman _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
