#2Okay. Or I can look out the window. By the morning of, it's already pretty clear whether it's going to be a nice day or not.
What is the advantage of this service over a regular weather forecast that I don't have to give my email address to?

Well, even more: I have a weather widget on my phone -- on the home screen, even. That makes "knowing the weather" even that much easier.
So clearly, this isn't about convenience of knowing the weather. This is about _specially highlighting_ the fact that today's weather will be PERFECT. As in, bringing attention to the fact that the day really is great.
The point is to have fun, enjoy life, and to have a beautiful day.
I built the service because I personally wanted a service like it. Perhaps others will enjoy it.

#4Awesome, I just signed up. Now all you have to do is figure out when I need to get my snow tires on and you have a business.

Maybe it's improved since then, but when I first tried ifttt it texted me that it was going to rain after it started raining, and then it kept texting me "Its going to rain" thereafter. Not very helpful.

I set up an ifttt to email me in the morning if it will be too hot to wear a sweater that day. Love it.

Do you live in California or something? Where I live, the weather is as shifty as the politicians, and the temperature dances around what's comfortable.

Great question. ifttt is far more powerful -- and complicated.
Also, it seems to only support ONE criteria, such as "Sunny" condition OR temperature above a certain range. Maybe I'm missing it, but I can't find a way to replicate BDB.
Another perspective: There is something special about the packaging of meeting this niche use case. The e-mail notifications are super upbeat, have inspirational quotes, etc.
Also, BDB is easy enough my Mom has figured out how to sign up.
