Looks like that&amp;#x27;s no longer the case, so maybe something is still going on over there.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>forapurpose</author><text>&amp;gt; terrible site redesign a few years back&lt;p&gt;Their 10-day weather graph is one of my favorite interfaces. There is no better way to grasp the weather, and it transformed my conception of daily weather patterns.
