Actually, I'm fearful that Weather Underground may have brought braille.wunderground.com off line. Afaik, it was never an official project there, just someone a friendly employee put up for a personal friend who happened to be blind. The only reason I know that detail is because I met that Weather Underground employee at the blind person's wedding.
If it's not back in a few days, we might want to start a little petition to get it back. I honesly suspect Weather Underground hasn't a clue that quite a few of us relied on that site, and that there are scripts floating around that rely on it. Having said that, it might be possible to adapt the scripts to run via one of the other subdomains at wunderground.com. hth Janina 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries writes: > Looks like the winter weather took it down.
