Robyn, I'm so with you about the new weather apps. I never had one that was as delightful as your old thermostat, but that sounds so much more preferable to the newer versions. I'm old . . . I can't even remember what I had for breakfast, much less what the high temp was yesterday. I hate these things that are obviously designed by and for kids. Keep up the good work! DJB
It would be great to have a voice feature, maybe in a local accent. I can just hear the weather reports that used to come from the top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire when I was a kid, "Snow and more snow. Then ice. It's winter folks" or the way my friend's grandfather used to say "cold enough to freeze your balls right off" and in the summer, "hot enough for ya?" You're right. The weather could be so much...more.

Thanks, David! Maybe obsession with the weather is a function of age?

Yes. This might be what I want to be when I grow up…someone who writes the weather forecast.
