   Wow, this is the best idea ever and goes along with my proposal of doing a "Coat report," where they announce what type of outer wear you need for your region. Nifty!

   what about http://www.doineedajacket.com ? It's been around for a few years at least.

   Excellent! It's raining right now where I live (on Long Island), and the answer was "No". Ergo, simplicity doesn't necessarily equal accuracy.

   a british version of this could be made cheaply, and be accurate all the time.

   It simply needs a 'yes' graphic, and if you really want an SMS system, send one a day to all subscribers..

   it's UK .. yes .. you need an umbrella !

   I'm in Texas. It's been raining all day but it's apparently the kind of rain that doesn't get you wet because it says I don't need an umbrella today.

   @jmp478 - haha, a small world indeed; Eric Mill (mill-industries.com) of isitchristmas.com used to work withthoughtbot.com, who made umbrellatoday

   @TonyC I think we threshold it at a low (but non-zero) chance of precipitation, so you might get a little wet on some non-umbrella days. Would you prefer it to message you if there's any chance of precipitation (honest question)?
