Not literally fairer weather, but 2 short days after installing Weather Icon, documented here, one of the WIcon folks left a comment suggesting that I try the WI1 v 3. beta, since it was pretty stable, and is “majorly kickass”. Hard to turn down an offer like that, and in the sidebar, there it is in all its glory.
There are tons of configuration options with this thing. Lots of knobs to twist and turn; I like that.

1 – It bothers me somewhat to abbreviate Weather Icon as WI, because of the obvious collision with a state abbreviation. Then, there are only finitely many 2-character acronyms, and collisions are inevitable. Plus, we’re all friends here.
Update: I see it can even add per-post weather data, which just happened. I think I’ll soft pedal that feature for bit.
Update2: Turning off the per-post weather data is retroactive. I just now noticed that, in case one wonders what I’m talking about in the first update.

Re: “1 – It bothers me somewhat to abbreviate Weather Icon as WI”
*sigh* Good point. Why couldn’t you have mentioned this a year ago when I started using that? At this point in the game, I’m not going to change it unless another plugin starts using it… Any idea if there is a WordPress coding rule about that?
A quick search and replace for $WI and replacing it with $WeatherIcon would fix _most_ of the collision problems … but I really don’t want to do that.
As for the per-post weather data … yah … that doesn’t quite work all that well. It was a proof of concept addition a while ago … and I thought we had actually disabled that option to prevent people from using it (even though the code for it is still there …)
