One thing missing

The new server has given us so many wonderful things, chat box, casino, arcade, top 15 and many new forums. For that I say thanks Falcon.
There is only one thing missing that I can think of, a weather link like WeatherBug. As it stands now the only reason I have to leave Rookie for is current weather for my zip code. I think it would be the final addition to complete the site.

I believe that Weatherbug allows for Canadian postal codes. If not the code, there is city and state or province. I think.

I run WeatherBug on my 'puter.. It runs in the Background and has the current Temp Displayed on my bottom Toolbar...

I'm lost without it..

If you do use Weather Bug make sure it's ver 3 or OLDER, NEVER use the ver. 5 or whatever the current vers. is... Be warned!
