Re: HIT: Weather sites

[David Lindsey <dlindsey@EAGLE.ESD189.WEDNET.EDU>]

I like to go to  http://www.intellicast.com  which is owned by NBC  they
have dailly weather satellite photos, radar photos, weather maps and
forecasts..the photos are really neat in color but can also be viewed on
a black and white screen (like my Powerbook 150) and can be printed out.
