:deadhorse:

How many times now have they said they are cutting the feed.
This must be the third or fourth time :
oh well :0
Maybe you'll receive another mail in another 3-4 months saying the same Sarge

Could very well be..

Understood, but with them updating and flushing their system, now is the perfect time.
I am just bracing folks....No matter how much notice is given, there is still going to be a flood of those folks that come here with the obligatory: "My Skin don't work WTF!"
So I will make every effort to offset that flood as much as possible

I did write them a very Politically Correct Thank You......

All joking aside.
Genuine thanks for keeping us all informed Sarge.

Here is, apparently, the final word on this matter folks

I received this today:
So I hope that everyone is prepared

Have you created or been working on an alternate source for your weather config?

[sgtevmckay]

As time permits, but this has been slow as I have been drugged up for a couple of weeks now and the other obligations i have been working on.
If it goes down....I should have a solution in about 2 to 3 weeks

Ok, as of this morning, the feed is officially down.

Probably going to be an unstable way to go over time. Feeds are constant, the web page can change any time they like. I would be fine if someone wants for themselves, as long as they are ok with changing the RegExp as needed when it breaks, but would be a very bad thing to distribute via devArt for instance.
