Just realized that old Homestead website from 2001 actually has working weather data

I stumbled on a Homestead page last night that someone built to track local rainfall in my town. The data stops at 2004 but it's still there, all the numbers and charts loading up in a browser. I was skeptical because I figured those old free hosts would be long dead, but this one is still chugging along with no ads or anything. Anyone else find a forgotten site that still serves up real info from decades ago?

Right? Is there anything better than stumbling on some dusty old site that’s somehow still trucking along? I found one last month that still uses a 90s style guestbook and hit counters, it was Beautiful. Felt like I walked into a digital time capsule someone forgot to throw away. The whole point of the internet used to be random weird corners like that, now it’s all just the same five platforms. Kinda makes me wanna keep some of these old relics alive just for the vibe.
