No-Code Snow Tracker with WipperSnapper and Adafruit IO #Weather #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit

Winter weather can be unpredictable, especially when you’re trying to decide if it’s time to break out the shovel or if you can wait another hour. This project creates a simple, glanceable desktop display that monitors real-time snowfall and daily forecasts using a no-code approach.

By combining an ESP32 QT Py with a 7-segment display, you can keep an eye on the accumulation without having to check your phone or a weather app every ten minutes. The built-in NeoPixel on the QT Py acts as a visual alert, glowing blue when it’s actively snowing, while the LED matrix shows exactly how many inches of snow are expected for the day.

Using WipperSnapper firmware and Adafruit IO Actions, this guide will show you how to link cloud-based weather data to your hardware in minutes. All without writing a single line of code.
