Automagic Weatherator

Domain determined simplified weather information. A simple script to see if it's snowing at Portland Airport.

Then

This started as the overly simplistic XML scraper I built to power the wunderful isitsnowinginpdx.com novelty site. That original iteration was built in 20 minutes and has sat untouched for 2 1/2 years entertaining Portlanders and non-Portlanders alike.

Now

In a quest to get away from the seriousness that most of my time in an IDE entails, I decided to build upon this original code and make something twice as fun with it.

How to deploy

• Setup your favorite stack configured with PHP (recommended 4+)
• Stick this index.php in whatever directory you choose.
• mkdir cachey in the parent dir of the index.php to create the cache dir.
• Do something with permissions so it works.
• Enjoy.
