First try, and beginner questions

Thanks, Vincent.

Then I assume that this scenario is quite normal, and saying something like "John Wayne Ground, Stationair 973SE request taxi for closed traffic, with the weather" is okay, also when using custom weather settings.

Yes, you're telling the controller that you have the weather (in this case, your weather). That way, the controller isn't obliged to read you the current real world weather.

Thanks for confirming, Keith.
