A news station here in Minneapolis is debuting a "Weather Watcher" tower on top of its building downtown. It will be part of the skyline, you'll apparently be able to see it from 15 miles away on a clear night. If the ball at the top glows blue, the temp is going to be going down. If it glows red, the temp is going up. If it glows green, some form of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet) is coming. And if it glows white, the conditions will remain the same as they currently are.

Kind of a cool idea. I'd imagine it will be kind of handy when you're doing stuff downtown.
