Stormy Fans
A free fan club for everything Stormy makes, where members carry a numbered card, collect a stamp for every project, climb four weather-named tiers, and vote on what comes next.

Time runs across. Height is maximum sustained wind, read from each status's METAR. The red ring marks the current position, and the cone ahead of it assumes conditions persist.

Advisory 44 DZ Drizzle
The National Parks Atlas is the sixth atlas to make invitations, tickets, vouchers and rain checks from, with a new kind, a Park visit, drawn as a woolly bison. A park's invitation starts at 09:00 unless the park opens later, and its links lead back under /north-america/.

The Castle Atlas became the fifth atlas to make invitations from, with a new kind, a Castle visit, drawn as a sleepy castle tower. A castle's invitation starts at its real opening time and says whether its hours are confirmed, and the date picker skips the months a castle is shut. Club weather's Game Shelf group now links to the shelf's own numbers. Shipped and in use, tested live from the castle page to the join page.

The linked sign-in with The Game Shelf went live, and Played became a sixth way to earn stamps: ten stamps for things done in the shelf's games, given only to the card linked to the shelf profile that earned them, several at once on the stamp-earned screen. The stamp book shows the six ways in two rows of three, and Club weather counts Played stamps. Shipped and in use. The first Played stamps from members are watched as they arrive, and then the next improvement is chosen.

The Game Shelf became the second partner for the linked sign-in, built and tested together with the shelf's side: a shelf profile and a fan card link with one press, Home Station gained a row for The Game Shelf, and Club weather a group. It shipped switched off, waiting for its secrets.

A burst of work with odd nook. A market, a list, or a weekend picked in any of odd nook's four atlases can now become a real invitation, with five new kinds, a Christmas market, a market hop, an Easter market, a Fest, and a Festival, each with its own picture, and the invitation shows the market's hours and directions from the atlas. A linked sign-in with odd nook went live too: someone signed in there reaches their fan card with one press, and the way back works the same, so nobody signs up twice. Club weather counts both, without naming anyone.

A burst of work on making the site easier to use. The postcard maker now goes in six steps, with Send only on the last, and has ten occasions, eight new backgrounds, 20 stickers, and eight letter styles, with room for one's own words, a nickname to sign with, and stickers placed anywhere. Your card and the owner's admin page were redesigned as shelves of tiles, and certificates, tickets, and invitations are now made in steps too. Shipped and in use. The new postcard maker gets its first signed-in try on the live site in the first week of November, and then the next maker or page to improve is picked.

The site now wears the open season or holiday on every page: a garland under the header, the season's hat on the logo, seasonal ground along the top of the footer, a sky window behind the home page's cards, and a touch in each page's picture, such as a ghost peeking up the Storm Cellar steps. Halloween is showing now. The sky in the header follows the visitor's own clock, through dawn, day, golden hour, and night, and the page-not-found screen keeps its barometer and adds Puddles, a hopping game. Shipped and in use, and the seasons change by themselves: Fall on 2 November and the winter holidays on 1 December. The Outlook's first issue goes out on 31 October, once its draft is reviewed.

Umbrella Pfauguin uses the approved pfauguin artwork, with hail and rain, Sleet Sorter starts gently with each drop falling above its own place, and the doors in the cellar's picture now close true. The Outlook now includes the puzzles and the arcade, the menu is down to Stamps and The Outlook, newsletter first, Club weather has statistics for every game, and a review of the code and documents fixed about 100 findings.

Fan Workshop designs can be kept on a card to fly in Fan Flight, and appear under Trade winds on Your card. The Outlook, a monthly newsletter, drafts itself from Storm Tracker and the club's month, to be reviewed and sent from admin, each issue at its own address. Every new card gets a welcome email, the card studio folds like the other sections as Sky Painter, The Game Shelf became a station with its own check-in, and the stamp passport gains pages once the stamps outgrow it.
