both - it's a place to discuss the physical weather & to make the 
virtual weather.

when i'm doing online workshops or link-ups, the weather always comes 
up early on, people want to know what it's like where the others are. 
maybe it's just small-talk, maybe it's a way of mentally connecting &

anchor so that we don't lose ourselves in cyberspace. there's 
probably someone doing a phd on the topic somewhere ...
