Is there a newsgroup devoted simply to current weather reports? If not,
does anyone besides me have any interest in getting one started? I
sometimes travel, and don't always read newspapers, but I'm logged in here
pretty frequently. I would suggest that if the group gets going, the
subjects be kept to *only* a report of the weather at a location, not a
discussion of meteorology, climate preferences or discussions of how
cold/hot/wet/whatever conditions various locales are suffering under.
Net.weather.d could be used for such discussions.


Here's a sample posting to show you what I mean:

Newsgroups: Weather
Subject: Seattle/Puget Sound 12/19/83

Winter has struck the Puget Sound area today, with 1 1/2" of snow on the
ground, and forecasts calling for 3 - 4 inches by night, more on the way
throughout the week. Temperatures are in the mid 20s to low 30s. Traffic
is slow and sanding crews have been busy since before dawn. Many schools
and businesses have closed, and are advising employees and students not to
attempt travel without chains, as the roads are quite icy under the dry
snow.
