ve wanted to implement, but the problem is I rarely wake to my alarm clock :-/

Congrats to farthead for sounding like a complete moron. And missing the point entirely.

However I never found any need to get up earlier or later when it snowed, schools/colleges/unis here never shut for snow and roads are kept clear. But this project has given me a damn good idea, thanks to the creator! Maybe soon I’ll be posting my first hack

I’ve done this for myself and clients for 5 years now.

You could use one of the Arduino ethernet shields for a low-power instead, directly looking up the data. :-)
