weatherbot

A GitHub action that posts weather announcements to Slack, if:

• There will be snow (more than one inch of snow over the next twelve hours).
• It's nice out (temperature is between 50/60℉ and 80℉ and low probability of precipitation).
• There are any weather warnings or watches.

This bot uses the Slack and Dark Sky APIs.
