I've got some new unknown weather types:
'Freezing Rain/Wind'
'Rain/Freezing Rain/Wind'
'Light Wintry Mix'
'Wintry Mix to Rain'
'Freezing Drizzle'
'Snow Showers Late'
'Snow Early'
'Ice to Rain'

Lovely weather. Thanks for the great plugin.

[Jeff]

I'll add these as new types of "rain/snow" in the next release.

Thanks

Okay, what am I missing -- there's all this talk about MSNBC as the source of the weather info, but all of my maps and stuff have the Weather Channel logo on them, even with this latest version. Is this normal?

[Jeff]

Yes. If you go to the msnbc web site and click on the weather menu you wil lsee that the maps come from the weather channel. Go figure.

Well that's good to know. I thought I was missing something or that I had the residue of an older version of the Weather plugin in my GBPVR system that causing it to still download from Weather.com or something.

Jeff:

I got another of those pesky unknown weather types.

Weather plugin Encountered unknown current weather type 'Rain Early'

I would guess it would be a lot easier on you if this part were user configurable. I suspect that every region on the planet has some different every changing and maybe even unique weather types. It must keep you very busy staying on top of them all.

Have you thought about using Noaa.gov as your weather source? You get everything that MSN gives you, but the sight doesn't change nearly as often.
