I love simultaneously knowing what the weather is like in Cape Town, Johannesburgh and Brighton too. That way I can imagine what I would be doing if I was still living there. Right now in Pittsburgh where I live it&#8217;s snowing outside and I wouldn&#8217;t even stick a toe out the door, but in Cape Town I can see myself having sundowners and pizza on Camps Bay beach.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I installed a fantastic extension to my Firefox browser which displays the weather for 3 days in my status bar.
