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.
