Hey guys, your weather-loving president here.
Kind of along these lines, I was going to undertake the process of
writing a METAR fetcher,
& decoder (prolly TAFs too) with a GTK or QT frontend to it. I was
wondering, since i
appear not the be the only one in plug with somewhat of a weather
fascination, if anyone
wanted to help out in this, or if not, if anyone had any good ideas
towards it let me know.

current METARs
http://205.156.54.206/oso/oso1/oso12/metar.htm <-- info on the METAR
code specificly
(take a look at the federal meteorological handbook #1 for
LOTs of info)
its fun to be an EAS minor!
