For an example of what Maurice references.
mobile.weather.gov
granted I am unsure what everyone seeks, speaking personally I remain
thankful that Environment Canada still keeps good old fashioned weather
hotlines...on the phone.
Still, when I visited the site above with my latest edition of Lynx I
found it terrific low graphics wise...but this is me and I am not using
braille.

up text pages. Reason because of compliance with section 508 and the Americans

think you might find out that not all of them are graphical. The reason also
this is being done as to display on my device that I’m actually using to send

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.

The following should work from the Terminal:
telnet rainmaker.wunderground.com
Not quite as elegant as braille.wunderground.com, so I hope the outage
is temporary. Unfortunately, it may not be, afaik.
Best,

Anybody out there know of a good text only weather page? The Braille
