That’s way cool - being from Virginny I had to check it out.
WAITAMINUTE! Those winds are going the wrong way!
99.999999% of the time (fairly accurate statistic) the winds around here come out of the west-ish and head to the east-ish direction.
Oh. Yeah. They really ARE going the wrong way right now!
Cool site.
[aside - my CPU temperature went up 5 degrees C and graphics card temp went up 10 degrees C when visiting the site - normally both CPU/graphics are loafing around with mundane surfing...not there!]
