Product Description:

Son of Weather Grok is an application that displays weather conditions and forecasts for cities from around the world. It taps into NOAA's (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) data center using 4 letter ICAO codes for Airports. A web page to help you locate these ICAO codes can be found at:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oso/siteloc.shtml

The ICAO is the code with the 4 letters. The codes that use numbers will NOT work. Keep in mind that some remote stations, like most in Afghanistan, do not work. Give it a try, but some of these stations never seem to report any data.

Son of Grok will show the temperature, sky conditions, humidity, wind speed, pressure, ceiling, visibility, and much more. Weather data is usually updated hourly from NOAA, and you can set Son of Grok to get this data at specified time intervals. The data is then displayed in an easy to read format using fancy-schmancy sky condition illustrations like you see on the news, along with the details in a small scrolling ticker and drop down list.

The Query and Forecast features are again operational.

I'm wagering that my review might get some a bit miffed . .

On OS X this application runs fine, all the features work and it displays properly on all my OS X machines. If there is any complaint it's the rather slow rate of updates.

For all it's quirks*, OS 9 is dead, dead, dead I TELL YOU! ==D E A D==

It's time to move on :)

*I miss some of the aspects of 9 and earlier, which I expect will eventually get added back into OS X

Empty Window - Version: 4.2.2, 9/26/2004 08:24AM PST

The last two versions have had this problem. The third information panel in each current conditions window is empty. Was this doone on purpose? All I see is an empty box when I click the second arrow to open the third panel. I have done all the standard "fixes" for when an app. goes boink (that's a technical term). Is anyone else having the same symptom?
