Free Weather Updates in iCal

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

If you would like free weather reports in Apple’s iCal (which can be synced to your iPhone or iPod Touch), there’s good news: Weather Underground supports the iCal .ics format as a subscription format. (It also offers RSS.) And unlike the shareware application WeatherCal (which provides the same service), it is free.

What this means is that you can subscribe to weather reports for any city, and have the forecast appear within iCal. The 7-day forecast will display as a series of all-day events in the calendar. (All-day events appear as headers at the top of each day.) Weather details older than one day are automatically deleted, which is nice; it doesn’t fill up your calendar.

More Snow; “Behind the Scenes” Taping Update

Monday, February 25th, 2008

This news goes back a couple weeks, but I thought I ought to bring everyone up to speed on the happenings here.

First, my hopeful prediction on February 3 that we might be nearing the end of winter weather turned out to be grimly mistaken. In the several days leading up to 2/11, we had warnings that a severe winter storm was afoot. Nevertheless, the morning of that day wasn’t too bad. I started to see snow and a bit of sleet coming down on the way home for lunch. Still, I was somewhat surprised to be caught at home after lunch, when I learned that 3ABN was closing due to badly deteriorating road conditions.

Snow Has Come, Snow Has Gone

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

We had our biggest snowfall yet last week: perhaps 3-4 inches, although the actually accumulation was less due to melting. This was less than the 6-9 inches that we were warned of in endless weather alerts. The worst part was the mix of sleet and freezing rain, which made for pretty treacherous roads Friday morning, the first of February.

Although most of the snow melted yesterday when the temperature rose into the 40s or 50s, there’s still a little bit of snow on the ground, in the grass and in the shadows. Judging from the extended forecast I’m looking at now, it may be the last we will see this year.

Warm, Windy, Raining, Cold, Hailing, Snowing Day

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Today started out warm and a bit breezy. Later on a fast-moving storm came in, bringing rain, hail, and finally, snow. We also had a tornado watch, but no twisters showed up for the party.

At the peak of the storm, all of the 3ABN employees were asked to come downstairs into the safer part of the building. It was a nice break, and we got to chat a bit. However, it was not really a severe storm, compared to others we’ve had.
