Weevil

Have never seen one of these previously.
Could be a Sitka Spruce weevil, which is a serious deforester of spruce tree "leaders" (top growth).

I don't know what it is, but what I do know is that one of the tree seeds you gave me have finally sprouted. :D

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Aaron, the tree seed sprouting is great news.
I think it was Judas Tree seeds I sent you.

Your weather sticker is blank...better than a storm, I suppose!
:wink:

May I suggest torture and sending him back
with a few less legs?

This may cause thee 'others' to rethink their plan :twisted:

Barb, where did you get your weather sticker from? I could not find one like yours on the website. I like yours because it is small. :D

I seem to recall having to register before the personal weather sticker variety became available.
And it wasn't easy to find.
Will look for it and email the link.

YOU DO HAVE TO REGISTER FIRST OTHERWISE NONE OF THESE WORKS FOR YOUR CITY.

First, the instructions page:
http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/Weather_Stickers

FOUND IT!!!! (But it's for my city, so you have to register, put in your own zip code in the Search bar, and then click on Personal Weather Sticker)
http://www.wunderground.com/geo/BannerP ... 71115.html

I don't know WHY they make it so hard to find the array of stickers that are available!!!

Aaron, here's the page BEFORE the weather sticker came up...it's halfway down the page at left side of my city's weather here:
Scroll down to where it says "Free Weather Stickers for your Homepage" (blue band)
Click on yellow bar "Get your Weather Sticker"
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/fin ... ct=WEATHER

The instructions page is the most important though...you don't want a screen shot, you want the URL that gets updated constantly for your city.

Good luck.

Gee, thanks, Jim! It was raining, so I had time :?

But even with a full page of instructions, I had to ask Jay to fix mine.

I think Aaron's station is working again...great!
