using namespace System <# .SYNOPSIS Says the forecast aloud. .DESCRIPTION Fetches the forecast and performs a greeting using Text-To-Speech once per day (or more frequently if the -Force) parameter is used. The last date is stored at "$DocumentsFolderRoot/WindowsPowerShell/say-daily-weather.date". The intended use is for this function to be added to your PowerShell profile. Weather alerts are not included. This cmdlet returns immediately, and uses a job to avoid blocking the main thread. The Windows Location API is used. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DailyWeather Performs a greeting and says the current forecast. #> function Get-DailyWeather { [CmdletBinding()] PARAM ( [Parameter()] # Force the weather to be said, even if it's already happened today.
