Hi Erland,
Weather.com has changed their layout, and this has forced changes to the
way SDT behaves. Any chance there is an easy update to Custom Clock to
help restore the old behavior?

Greg,
I'm noticing some odd behavior related to the precipitation field (%z if
I remember correctly off hand.) I understand that this field now
contains either the word "Rain" or "Snow" -- which is great, except it
seems to not always contain that word.
If I use the string "Prec %z", sometimes

I tried adding a few nearby wunderground stations into the mix, but no

Erland -
I've been meaning to share this for a while. I've tweaked the layout of
one of the SDT based Custom Clock templates for the Radio. My focus has
been to eliminate scrolling and only show the immediate future forecast.
I like to think it's a pretty clean layout.

No idea if this will work, but my suggestion is to uninstall
SuperDateTime. And delete you .PAR file. Then reinstall
SuperDateTime. This will create a new .PAR file. And then follow the

Is it possible my Boom is broken? Everything else works fine except
