       | Lovely project.

       | Yet checking out "cargo install weathr" and is it me or rust is
       | becoming the next nodejs? :D

         | tool.

       | One day.

       | Very cool project!

       | 
       | I looked at the snow one and almost expected snowdrifts to start
       | accumulating.

           | maintenance, no support, and no regret.
