Now that the traditional chat has been disabled, some of us weather bloggers have regrouped on the IRC.  The webteam has indicated there will eventually be a weather chat, but until then we on on the IRC, underground, #stlweather. No password.  Patrick deleted my original post explaining how to get to the IRC ( with an explanation) but said it was ok to re-post this.

Here's how to get on the IRC (Internet Relay Chat):

 Step 1: Get Firefox and use it as your browser;

Step 2: Get the ChatZilla add-on

Step 3: Open Firefox and under "Tools" at the top, click on Chatzilla;

Step 4: Once Chat is open, click on "undernet" on the list at the bottom. Follow the instructions. Once you're logged on, type /nick and choose your nickname. Type /join stlweather.


Don't have Firefox or don't want to get it? Get mIRC. Download, install, follow the instructions for set up and follow Step 4 above.

See you on the IRC.

I went through ChatZilla and it would not stay connected. I have mIRc already and went to undernet and it worked fine, but no one was there.

Remind all if they get mIRC that they don't have to register it. They can use it as long as they like without doing that.

Thanks for the reminder, Pea. Things have slowed down because there's not much to talk about, but for "storm chat" I think the IRC will work fine. Assuming there is no new weather chat.
