    • RE: Altitude not working for a given locatoin

      @idefix37 thanks so much for promptly clarifying! Now I have a better understanding of how it works.

      Based on what you just described, If I could parlay my confusion into one small feature request that I think would take less than an hour of dev time, and alleviate pain for lots of users.

      Would you be so kind as to review the following and hopefully pass this along to the product team?

      User story: As a user, when I am comparing different models for a given location, I want to be able to view the elevation for each model forecast, so that I can understand which models I should be using for decision-making.

      Implementation Suggestion: In the 'compare models' view, add a string that prints out the elevation for each model forecast. I don't need the ability to choose different elevations the same way I can with Mountain-Forecast.com (allegedly, Mountain Forecast uses ECMWF and GFS and then adds some custom modeling, with hit-or-miss results).

    • Altitude not working for a given locatoin

      User story: When I am looking at a forecast for a given location, I want to be able to view & adjust the forecast altitude (the same way Mountain Forecast allows) so that I can be confident of different weather conditions at different altitudes

      Feedback:
      Love this app in so many ways, but this is a big blocker for me (and several of my friends): the altitude doesn't seem to be working (at least in the WebUI) so it's either a bug or a broken feature. Please check out Mountain Forecast for the exact feature I want!

      Repro steps:
      In the 'compare forecasts' for a given location (the top of Mount Rainier) it shows what I think are lower elevation temperatures. The different models are all providing very different information, so I can't be sure which is best.

      Compare this to the same date (Friday) using Mountain Forecast. I'd love to be able to select different altitudes
