BIGweather

Big Weather Display Displays the current day's weather information BIG so you can see it from far away. I LOVE this val. My girlfriend and I use it everyday. We have an old chromebook slate set up in the corner
of our apartment, so we can get the daily weather at a glance without our phones. Currently it's hardcoded for: prospect heights, brooklyn charts of the temp and % change of precipitation Probably easiest for you to fork it and change it to suit your needs vs making it customizable
