Dear Readers, Lovers of Simpleweather

Tonight our data feed was shut off. We can no longer afford to operate. We will open a Paypal donation fund next week to keep us going. I want you all to know that to the three of us, Ray, Joe and I, Simpleweather.com was more than a website. It was change. It was the new look of weather on the Internet. We kept it as low-ad as possible and unfortunately owe our data provider, CustomWeather, too much money. If you want to keep us going, you will need to donate and monthly. Hopefully, we can find a resolution to keep SW going but in the meantime, I offer you these words:

This is our time. We changed the game. We gave everyone what they wanted and listened. This is the end of the road for us. We appreciate every single, last user who visited our site and used it. Without you, the fans, we’d be nothing. I cannot thank you enough. With these tears flowing from my eyes, I want to thank every last one of you for using our site. Every time you visited Simpleweather.com, you kept us motivated.

Sincerely, with every last bit of emotion still left,
Founder and CEO, Vincent W. Veneziani.

Please keep in mind, this site was funded by our wallets. At one point, Joe put up $5000 of his own money to keep us going from February until now. Please keep us in mind and don’t unlink us. We will find a way through this.

Some of you wrote in with concern that the rollover-forecast we feature was getting messed up by our ad placement. Just so you know, I took a screenshot and posted it above. It should be like that for you too (using Firefox + Mac OS X), so let us know if there are any problems.Have a great Memorial Day!

Thank you, Norway!
