I agree with Mr. Keiffer's comment on overloading a weathermap service site.

I would like to add a thought to anyone working on this.

Is it possible to get weather maps (Not satellite images) in Postscript format?

Seems to be that weathermaps are starting life as a hoard of vectors running  
toward a plotter.  This should make the maps much smaller, no?.

(The ideal of course, would be to get the weather bureau to publish them as  
Postscript...)
