Daily Diary - Thunder

Firstly congratulations on an excellent program. As good, if not better than the ones you have to pay a lot of money for.

One improvement I would like to see - In the daily diary you have the facility to enter days when snow is falling and the depth, this will then be shown on the monthly summary.
I would like to be able to enter days when thunder and/or lightning occurs and this to be shown likewise.

To a lesser extent this could also be done for Fog.

Yes, the diary is a bit basic. I plan to provide a much better version in Cumulus 2, and possibly also at some point improve the current one. Thunder, and other manual observations, would certainly be useful additions.

...Thunder, and other manual observations...

Note just manual, a few people have lightning detectors. I wrote a applet to process lightning data off the web plot them on a a MS Bing map and give warnings of approaching storms, that could have be adapted to log all strikes within say a 10 mile radius.
