The COOLEST (...ahem...) website I've ever seen

@BASys - agree that Fallows should have mentioned the original site. You ought to send him a note or post a comment - he's usually pretty responsive to that kind of thing.

Hi Folks

windty.com is a reworking of Cameron Beccario's http://earth.nullschool.net

windty is an nice implementation,
particularly the metars, and maps at higher zoom levels.

It's a pity James Fallows gives Ivo all the credit.
He'd obviously not bothered reading windty's info panel.


Select an overlay, and a key displays at the middle of the right hand edge.
Click it to switch units.

Thanks. It's almost invisible to me unless I place the mouse hand directly over it. But I also discovered that if I mouse over a specific spot and left click, a balloon pops up with all sorts of info.
