Nice to see such a forgotten protocol revived :-) Unfortunately it seems down at the moment ("finger: reading from network: Connection reset by peer").

Works well and very fast for me. Checked that you are not behind a firewall that block finger?

wow that meteogram really is the easiest view of a day (forecast or historical) that I've ever seen.

Wish weather.com did that instead of the mess they make.

Just use yr.no. http://www.yr.no/place/United_States/California/San_Francisc...

Very nice! Anyway to see C as F? I am metric challenged :-(

Finally a use case for my iFinger app :) (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ifinger/id540024903?mt=8)

...however, the screen layout does not work, except for the one-liner reports. Still, yay, finger!
