Problem Statement: 
The device is for my mom. I picked her because she spent most of her life caring for me and I wanted to build her something. She's a recent retiree who can finally indulge her night owl habits now that she doesn't have to report to a job every day. She loves to spend her evenings relaxing late into the night while reading, listening to the radio, keeping tabs on my dad, and tracking the weather.

The weather is really important to her because it gives her something to talk to my dad about. It also helps her to plan her days- what she will wear and where she will go. The weather is probably the very first thing she thinks of when she wakes up in the morning.

She sleeps in a really dark room. Since she goes to bed late and wakes up late, she has to keep it dark so she doesn't miss her beauty sleep. This means that when she wakes up, she doesn't know what is going on with the weather outside. And since that is one of the first things she thinks about in the morning, this presents a problem.

She has a phone but doesn't like sleeping with it in her room in case it rings. She could get out of bed to look, but then she'd get up before she was ready. What she really needs is a way to learn the weather from the comfort of her bed without using a screen.

When exploring her room, I learned that she really likes the lamp on her dresser. She's had it for years. I remember her having it when I was growing up. We both thought it would be nice to give it some enchantment.
