The conditions over Fairport, New York — computed, not recorded. Running continuously from the current observation, whether or not anyone is listening.

Continuous. Every segment is computed fresh from the current observation and then discarded, so nothing here ever repeats and nothing here loops. If the sky is still and dry, this is quiet — that is the station working, not the station broken.
