Both of you gents are doing some neat things with the weather. We also do some ski centric forecasting @ http://www.famousinternetskiers.com/weather/

View on HN

I'm a mountaineer and never knew of these sites. Absolutely thrilled to see them on HN. Also, I'd pay for a user friendly data centric weather app focused on ski, climb, and outdoor activity weather reporting. I've been using nws.noaa.gov and weather.unisys.com for years and the UI is lacking. Just installed the free climbingweather.com app!!

Nice! Thanks for downloading the app! My next front burner project involves another niche weather site but focused on outdoors more generally. The outdoor climbing community is relatively small, so although I get decent traffic to the site, I'd like to do something a bit larger.

I'm also working on a Python library that interfaces with the national weather service for daily and hourly forecasts. It's about 95% done, although that last 5% can be tough.
