Cave Country Weather now has Facebook and Twitter pages. These pages are updated at the top of each hour with the current conditions – Temperature, Humidity, Wind and Rain. I don’t know how much of a demand for this there is, but we will see.
* The Facebook user name is “Sunny Weather”
* The Twitter user name is “CaveCityWeather”
Also added are summary pages of past years temperature, rain and wind. These pages allow you to compare the monthly data from year to year easily.
The guys at WeatherWatch.com are still coming up with new and improved scripts for websites. The latest additions are the trends for both temperature and rainfall. Basically it takes the current months readings and compares it to the station average. In the case of Cave Country Weather it is from 1/1/2008. It is located toward the bottom of the pages listed in the last post below. The temperature page still has an issue with the “Current Month Average” but it looks like it will fix its self as the months go by this year.
Another cool addition is the visual forecast on the forecast page. This shows the forecast in a pictorial display that changes with the seasons, time of day and weather conditions. The clouds blow by, the plants sway in the breeze and in full screen mode, you may see a jet plane fly by. This can also be added to your Myspace page or used on your computer as a screen saver. It is found at YoWindow.com If you download it, send me an e-mail and I can show you how it can use the data from Cave Country Weather.
The cold weather has been here to stay. The temperature has not risen above freezing in 7 days and is not expected to for another 3 more. The snow has been nice to look at and enjoy.
There are a few more additions to the website that allow for a quick look at historical data.
Historical rain data
Historical temperature data
Historical wind data
Also the thermometer has been updated to a more colorful one.
Well Santa brought a new solar sensor! 
This will greatly improve the accuracy of the current conditions icons and the banner. They had been using the airport metar for the cloud conditions, but now that information will come from right here in Barren county during the daytime.
We had our first snowfall of the season. 1/2″ and it has already melted by noon. Back in the area where I grew up in NJ, they received 24″. It would be nice go get a decent snowfall one of these years.
A new page has been added to give a one week UV Index Forecast This is the forecasts of the UV index for the Cave Country area at solar noon for clear-sky conditions. Included is a description of each UV Index level and tips to help you avoid harmful exposure to UV radiation. Also dont forget to protect your eyes 
If you remember back to last July, I had a Cloud Height graphic that showed the height of clouds. I took that script and modified it a bit and made new graphics. The result is the new Cave Country Weather banner. It changes from day to night, shows if it is clear, cloudy or raining, the correct moon phase and the windsock shows how hard the wind is blowing. It is also a little brighter than the last one. I hope you like it.
As some of you may have noticed, the earthquake activity and been non existent lately. That’s because the USGS changed their feed location. Anyway it has been corrected. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Now for weather that’s out of this world – Space Weather!! 
In case you are wondering why the solar winds are slowing your spacecraft, 
or are the flares screwing with your cellphone? 
Maybe you just want to watch the Aura Borealis. 
The new Space Weather page is up and running thanks to a script by Mike Challis.
Local city forecasts are now available. This is great if your planning a trip to a near by city. The weather data is provided by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the NRK, so some data may use the metric system. Currently there is 7 different cities to choose from.
Also a “Tell A Friend” option has been added. This is an easy way for you to spread the word about Cave Country Weather to a friend. Don’t worry – no email addresses are stored anywhere.
A Guestbook page has been added today. Visitors are encouraged to say “Hi” 
and leave comments. The guestbook is located at cavecountryweather.com/guestbook.php
