[GreenKeys] Who has a working WEATHER TELETYPE?

[tony.podrasky]

Hi Richard;

It looks that way because that is what you'd see when you print
it out on a regular Teletype. When you print it on a Weather Teletype
the weather symbols will appear.

The NWS doesn't use those weather symbols anymore - at least not
where I've looked.
