The Color Weather Forecaster Atomic Alarm Clock. All you need to know about this puppy is that it wakes you up with a ‘colorful photograph’ depicting the day’s weather along with sound effects. Sound effects! Oy yoy yoy! $159.95.
…the 3.8-inch color LCD forecasts look and sound like this: “Sunny”: palms and cabanas, a clear-sky and sounds of seabirds and surf; “Partly Cloudy”: an ocean cove under partly cloudy skies with sounds of a brook and songbirds; “Cloudy”: grassland under cloudy skies with the sounds of a stream; “Rain”: tulips in a sudden shower with the sounds of rain; and “Snow”: a winter mountain with blowing wind.
Why not go the distance and add a wireless camera to outside the window and the display show a real pic with atmospheric details…umh, and make it an alarm clock…with an FM tuner too…
Now *that* is a good idea, S. :-) Or better yet, throw in a webcam feed from Tahiti so you can pretend.
