This is cool! I built https://blizzalert.com a while back which does part of this - sends an SMS with snowfall alerts for mountains that you're watching. I didn't think to match it…

I've built a small Ansible role to generate a certificate and configure it for automatic monthly renewal. It isn't really set up to handle all possible scenarios, so I only made it…
