To any weather watchers out there -

Does anyone already have a solution to the following:

Hiker arrives at a town stop that has internet access. Go to a web site that
shows ten day forcasts for the next section of trail.

It would be great if the hiker doesn't have to do a lot of entering zip
codes or towns etc. Perhaps it could be pre-set up by the hiker or someone
else?

Maybe something like:

 town A -
 day 1       day 2     day 3     day 4     day 5      day 6    day 7     day
8     day 9      day 10

  town B -
 day 1       day 2     day 3     day 4     day 5      day 6    day 7     day
8     day 9      day 10

  town C -
 day 1       day 2     day 3     day 4     day 5      day 6    day 7     day
8     day 9      day 10

  town D -
 day 1       day 2     day 3     day 4     day 5      day 6    day 7     day
8     day 9      day 10


It would seem that due to time constraints on public computers and the need
for the hiker to get other email etc done, that the weather function should
be very quick and perhaps printable.

So how about it? Alot of people on the list watch the weather sites. What
would be a quick solution.
