Default BBWeather for Canadians

Please Login to Remove!
For those Canadians that can't get BBWeather to work with the 5-digit code from the weather website, here is the solution. Got to weathernetwork.com and search your city. Look in the address bar of your browser and find the CAXX#### identifier. That's the location code for the program.

No offense to you fine Canadians out there, but just know that from Oct through April, your weather is cold, and there is a chance of snow.

What more do you need?

Do you want to get into stereotypes about people from Alabama? :D

Sure, I've never ever never heard any jokes about people from Alabama/the South! That would be a first!

Otherwise, I was not stereotyping any people, just the weather.

Much like: "Hey, you guys in Alabama don't need BBWeather, just know for a fact that May through September you will now it's going to be HOT as He!!, and 120% humidity. What more do you need."

And "j/k" = just kidding, all in jest.

I'm interested in BBWeather but I'm concerned that it'll chew through my meager data plan allowance. How much could I expect it to use per month?

cheers

I went ahead and installed BBWeather but I'm getting an error - Invalid url parameter. I'm in Vancouver and I'm using CABC0308 as my location code.

Suggestions? I followed the instructions from SlightRight and above.
And I re-started the 8100.

cheers

Have you disabled MDS proxy under options?

search "invalid url parameter" and you will find lots more info on this error for BBWeather.

Tried both Spain and Italy and got valid codes.
