Good afternoon trail friends and family,
I'm pleased to announce that I just went live with an update to www.atweather.org.
Over the course of the 2015 season, the site received over 100,000 page views of actual forecasts. For this upcoming season, given the increase in the number of hikers expected, I felt it important to make a couple of enhancements:
- A drop-down list with states which filters the 285 entry shelter list, so that it isn't necessary to do so much scrolling
- A discussion of how probably of precipitation works
- New aesthetics
- Links to Leave No Trace principles and to the AT Conservancy site
Please note that if you had bookmarks to specific locations, they will no longer function since the URL structure of the site changed slightly.
During my thru-hike this year, a lot of folks personally thanked me for the website. I really appreciate that people have found it useful. Please spread the word and feel free to reach out with any questions that you have.
Regards,
Pat ("Zen" 2015)
