TheWeather Window is the perfect way to stay up-to-date with the weather you care about. It features a simple, easy-to-read grid layout that displays AWN data from both your personal dashboard and public stations. Whether it's your backyard forecast, the wind at your favorite beach, or the UV Index at your dog park, you can see it all in one window.
Manage your device directly from your AWN account. You can begin customizing your layout once you add your Weather Window to your account devices. Choose from four pre-designed templates to showcase your desired data.

I'm annoyed because even with all other cards disabled there is no way to force it to show the temperature. it will say heat wave or wintry mix, or temperatures drop until you look at it by clicking on it. Or breaking news. I just want to see the darn temperature without having to click on it! more settings opens something inside of edge, but you still can't shut off stories that aren't part of information cards. you have to tell it you aren't interested, and then it just finds replacement stories.
Taskbar updates show you personalized, rotating content directly on your taskbar, including news and more. You will also see the relevant information card in an expanded view in your feed. To turn this feature off, right-click any blank space on the taskbar and select News and interests > Reduce taskbar updates. Once this is checked, you will only see weather on your taskbar.
Looking at this photo, it appears that the existing cab windows are still in place. The all-weather window did act as a sort of "storm window", but I think that its main purpose was to provide an enclosed area around where the engineer would normally stick his head out the window for a better view. This was especially useful in colder climates.

that is what you get when you drink Canadian beer. the replies about giving the engineer a place to stick his head out are correct. of course some of the guys i worked with wouldn't stick their head out no matter what. you always had to step back away from the track so the lazy bum could see your signals. solution; run him into a standing cut of cars at about 10 mph once or twice and he will get so tired of getting knocked of his seat box that he will pay better attention. then you don't need storm windows either.
They usually freeze solid in winter. Gives a little extra protected looking room, maybe about 6 inches, and usually a fairly nice large armrest. Good place to keep water (or soda pop) cooler in winter.
I get it about visability though, you can look back along your train without actualy having to stick your head out into rain and snow etc. Maybe why i see alot of these fitted to switchers or smaller road units that are used for alot of switching!
Engineers traditionally have hung out the window to look forward too, even now with low-nose diesels. It's mainly designed for northern climates like mine (Minnesnowta). If it's -20F and you're rolling along at 50 MPH the wind chill would be around -70F or so, enough to give you frostbite in a few minutes.
I seem to recall that early on they were removed by the railroads in the warm weather months, but soon they started leaving them on year around and set them up so they could be opened up in warm weather.
Generally "bay windows" are something different, although the MN&S had some cabooses that I saw back in the sixties that were (IIRC) older cabooses with the cupolas removed, and an all-weather window (or something similar) put in place of the middle side windows to create a sort-of bay-window caboose.
Doctorwayne's photos of the CN SW1200RM show that all-weather windows were applied to both sides of those units, but some roads only put them on the engineer's side (for example some of Algoma Central's rebuilt GP7s had them put on one side), so if you're detailing a unit with all weather windows, make sure you have photos of both sides.
All the English Electrics, Baby Sulzers and Brush 2's suffered from this-strangely enough our Cromptons at Holbeck (D24 onwards) never did,on the other hand,when I transfered to Old Oak the Hydraulics you would sweat your nuts off,summer and winter.

A Canadian beer is like moonshine eh? I have had the "luck" to work with an Engineer who would get visibly upset if he had to put his feet down once. The all weather windows we called switch windows were applied to just the engineers side lately, and the old units had them on both sides. they were a GREAT place to put a can of pop, or a couple sandwiches. really didn;t help with visability much they always were in place outside the cab and the normal windows were still there. mostly just there to rattle and squeek as I can tell.
I liked em for food storage as mentioned, but for switching......... I look out the windows when doing that. Or use that large lovely mirror.But when i go to lean out of an old clunker with an all weather window,KERRRRWHACK! Cuss Cuss Swear threaten bodily harm to the makers of them,cuss some more. I always had to be like a pretzel as I am too tall to get a goo view I had to half duck twist backsideways and be like an acrobat to get a good view.
Stories from the roundhouse is they would take off winterization hatches and the windows come spring. But leaving them on the units worked much better and cut down on " Wonder what that would bring at a scrap dealer?"Plus just having a place to store them at smaller shops was sometimes rather tough.
A weather window occurs when weather forecasts indicate that a given set of marine operations or offshore construction activities can be performed within their maximum limits for wave height, wind speeds etc.
If unforeseen time has not been identified, the operation reference period is normally set at twice the estimated operation time. Marine operations with a reference period less than 72 hours can be defined as weather-limited operations. These operations can be planned independently of statistical data and based only on weather forecasts.
For weather-limited operations, critical factors such as forces, movements and acceleration shall be calculated in a rather worse weather condition (design criterion) than the weather in which it is planned to perform the operation (operational criterion). This is due to the unreliability of weather forecasts. The longer the planned operation lasts, the greater the difference between the operational criterion and the design criterion.
The relationship between the operational criterion and the design criterion is defined as the "alpha factor". The variations in the alpha factor also take account of the fact that it is harder to estimate the wave height for small sea conditions than for larger sea conditions. As an example, operation planned to take 20 hours with a design criterion of significant wave height (Hs) 2.5m will yield an operational criterion of 2.5 * 0.71 = 1.8m. The maximum wave is about 1.86 times Hs (depending on the period).
Understanding and seizing a weather window is paramount for various maritime operations. For instance, commercial shipping companies carefully analyze weather forecasts to plan voyages efficiently, choosing optimal times to set sail to ensure the safety of crew and cargo. Fishermen and recreational sailors also rely on weather windows to venture into the sea, avoiding storms or rough seas that could endanger their vessels.
The assessment of a weather window involves several factors. Wind speed and direction, wave height, visibility, precipitation, and atmospheric pressure are among the key elements considered. A short-lived weather window might be suitable for a coastal voyage, while a longer one could enable a more extended journey across the open sea.
In recent years, technological advancements in weather forecasting have significantly improved the ability to predict weather patterns, allowing maritime professionals to plan their activities with greater precision and safety. However, despite these advancements, nature remains unpredictable, and unexpected changes in weather patterns can occur.
