After thinking about it, I can't think of a bona fide reason to capture
live date. His assignment only says "Obtain or record correct hourly
temperatures, hourly wind, hourly barometric pressure, and "brief" weather
prediction for that hour. (I.e., Sunny, overcast, cloudy, rain, storm,
snow, etc.) Do this for the first two weeks in December."
I am not sure how the teacher wants students to record that information for
the time they are asleep, so getting that information from some source must
be all right.
Are you guys suggesting I wait until December 15th, and get that
information from Weather Underground? I didn't realize they would supply
past information.
