emailed WX ?

[jericho flight]

Cant seem to get flightaware to email weather anymore. Not sure if I am doing anything wrong. Up untill a couple days ago wx@flightaware.com worked great.
Does anyone have any ideas or web sites that offer this kind of email option? (texting?)
Thanks

FWIW I've been having the same problem.

Text "METAR (icao airport code)" to 466453 (Google) and they will text you back with the metar for free (you pay for the regular text message use I believe.)

NavCanada will also automatically email you weather for free if you have a 'my weather' login set up

This used to work great for me until google started sending me back "did you mean CYYZ?" and then proceeds with the CYYZ metar instead of the CYKZ one

FWIW the ADDS website tends to work pretty well on the BlackBerry - much better than the AWWS site does.

Start flying out of YYZ?

I actually wondered if it worked for smaller airports. This is the first I have heard of any problems like this. It worked for the island, hamilton, kitchener no problem for me.

Well, I emailed flightaware, they wrote me back right away but they don't really understand what the problem is.
I can not seem to get the google thing to work.
I guess its back to the old way. I will have to make a phone call to FSS.

My Blackberry has been acting up lately, than this morning I found a couple of messages indicating a new version of the App world was available. Maybe this all has something to do with that???
