Add Beafort Scale Icons #17

Closed mikebronner closed 9 years ago

mikebronner commented 10 years ago

Would be neat to have all the wind-speeds represented as well:

Beaufort Scale 0 - 12: 'Calm', 'Light Air', 'Light Breeze', 'Gentle Breeze', 'Moderate Breeze', 'Fresh Breeze', 'Strong Breeze', 'Moderate Gale', 'Gale', 'Storm', 'Whole Gale', 'Storm', 'Hurricane',

Thanks for a great font! :)

Are there standard pictographs for this? As we move away from easy "cloudy" "sunny" icons, these are getting harder and harder to find visual metaphors for. I could do like a wind icon with a small number 0-12 in it, but I Can't think of a way to have 13 similar icons that are distinct enough to convey 13 meanings.

If something exists though, I can try to copy it.

I like the wind icon with the scale number in it for sure! Otherwise i agree, no way to visually represent it.
