"It seems like its been a cold December."

How unusual is the weather?

Specific articles and weather wonks. Not interactive or too technical.

We can build a "real-time" look at recent weather compared with averages.

All we need is some up-to-date weather data. Easy.

:(

Simple, but relevant interface.

(so many possiblities)

No budget.

No forecast information.

No precipitation.

Only one average to compare.

Only one place.

Look at specific time spans. Today, last week, last month, season.

Show difference in each day.

Show difference in total.

Oh, and get it out while its still cold.

Thanks.
