When The Weather Matters…

I admit it. I like to check the weather forecast. My morning ritual includes a cup of coffee and at least one cycle of Local on the 8s. This ingenious bit of programming from The Weather Channel features the current weather conditions and local weather forecasts within the US. The name comes from the timing of the segment, as the times it airs end in “8″ (such as 6:18, 6:28, etc.) and because of the timing of the segment, “Local on the 8s” airs in ten minute intervals. Like a morning snooze button….if you are so inclined.

While this weather information helps to start my day – I’ve become a huge of WeatherBug for updates during the day. WeatherBug provides local conditions and forecasts on your computer, mobile device, or website! To get started, simply download WeatherBug,  customize by adding your zip code – select a weather station near your neighborhood or location, check out the forecast and plan your day! Nifty! Yes, you can add other locations to travel the weather while traveling.
