Weather Matrix

This is cool. WeatherMatrix caught up with me on a google search and linked to me in a story on his website.

From the Matrix>>NOTE: Clearly, they have not found the trick that we use here in Central Pennsylvania (a place where you rarely get enough snow to hid a hydrant): attaching flags that can be seen above the snow. Oddly enough, we seem to be the only people doing this - I couldn't find evidence of this outside of Alaska on Google. If you have flags on your hydrants, email me.<<

Since then he's got lots of emails of townships with flags on their fire hydrants so they can find them when needed. He also corrected his mistake of identifying the town in question as Madison, Wisconson. The snowed in town that couldn't find its fire hydrants was in fact Green Bay, Wisconsin. Go Packers!!
