My Free Weather
« on: October 30, 2009, 11:39:30 AM »
Was on break and doing some looking around for weather stuff and tripped over this neat little program. Running it now with no pop ups or spyware.

I am probably the last one to find this.... ](*,)

Can you tell us more about the program after you've messed with it for a few days?



Thanks,

Is it actual sky you see, or is it an animation?

Animation of the sky for that location. However you can set up a list of cities that you want to check on.

It's for Windows. :(

Meh. I can run Windows on a new Mac however, so maybe I'm not entirely left in the dark here.  #-o :roll: :grin:

It always worries me when the parent company of a software outfit sells anti-malware.  :evil:

It appears to be legitimate and there is a report from Download3K that shows it's test results.

Good little program. The weather channel supplies the data for it. nice to have it ad free compared to weather bug which is more a ad board  rather then a weather board. I use it  here to keep track of the weather up by the cabin.

Something told me to leave it alone. I'm glad I did. I've got enough problems in my life right now.
