We're doing another format experiment:  we've received a lot of complaints about slow loading, and we think we've traced it to the weather bug, which is provided by Weather Underground.  While we like having the temperature live on the site, weather sites just seem to have a tendency to slow down page loading. Weather Underground is the third provider we've used, and they've all created problems.  So please let us know if the page loads easier, and we'll try to figure out how to give you the weather without denying you everything else!
