I thought that Lowell, W8QIY, was running an accessible weather station.
Although it might be W8QLR, who is now a silent key.
In addition to the Window-Eyes "Weather or not" app, I sometimes go to
classic.wunderground.com and set it up for my ZIP code. This page contains
several tables. Here in the Washington area, the fourteenth table contains
listings of near-current data from 30 weather stations within a few miles of
each other. Obviously, the data in North Dakota will be much more sparse.
I don't find Wunderground to be such a good system for tracking fast-moving
lines of thunderstorms, etc., but our local radio station, WTOP, does a good
job of describing what's on the weather radar. The Weather app for the
iPhone or iPod is also useful if you can keep it synchronized.
