A note about weather closings and changing habits
On Wednesday night, the NewsOK WeatherWatch iPhone application was live on the app store. It was perfect timing, too, since Winter Storm 2010 was bearing down on the state.
Now, I don’t use an iPhone on a daily basis. I use my OPUBCO-issued Blackberry Curve (and I like it). My lovely wife Jenny, however, uses her iPhone daily, so I’m handy with the device (and I like iPhones, too).
In classic skeptical style that only wives can pull off, she said ….
“Why do I need this app when I have weather on my phone already?”
“Just download it,” I replied. (OK … I said “please.”)
We went through the features on the app — the local blog, the local forecast, the daily forecast videos — and it was a good experience.
“Yeah, well … you need school closings and updates when the weather is bad,” she said.
“Click that button,” I said as I pointed.
