Online tool accesses Wisconsin winter driving conditions, airport delays

PDA users can quickly assess conditions on major roads in Wisconsin during a blizzard using the University of Wisconsin-Madison's PDA Animated Weather, or PAW - a PDA-friendly online weather service developed at the UW-Madison's Space Science and Engineering Center.

PAW creator Russ Dengel recently worked with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to add an interactive local forecast that includes a continuously updated map of Wisconsin road conditions. The PAW also includes information on flight delays at the Dane County Airport. For more on the program, contact Dengel at (608) 345-6664, russd@ssec.wisc.edu.
