I use them both but prefer Wunderground. I like Wundermaps mashup of radar and terrain. I like their almanac and astronomy layouts as well.

I also have NOAA, several regional stations and TWC on Firefox tabs.

More data = better choices. You'll still get wet though. 😉

I use Weatherbug while traveling on the iPad, as well as the NOAA feeds.

At home I use these also but mainly rely on my emergency radio which operates on batteries when we lose the power, which is frequent in our thunderstorms. We always have a lot of lightning so it trips breakers all over the place and we lose our TV and anything else that needs electrons.

Intellicast on my Home page(s), but links to NOAA, one local weather station, with links to several others. Depends on what I am looking for.

I prefer a certain one that contains quite a bit of profanity, mostly one word in particular starting with an F, simply because of it's humor (it's so stupid it's funny).

It's called The F***ing Weather. Add ".com" to the end of that and you have it. Don't say I didn't warn you...

Need to add "the" to the beginning.

Intellecast is the best weather website out there. Their layout is far superior to Weather underground.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows

Having said that....I prefer WeatherUnderground

To me the Weatherunderground is nothing but a seditious, communist group from the 70's.

What are you calling that?

They were known as The Weathermen in the 60's and 70's, although many were female. Very dangerous, anti-government group.

My weather info comes from wunderground.

No real relevance or relationship between the two other than as a tongue-in-cheek reference as the weather service started out as a clunky TELNET-based service back in the early days of the web that was hard to get to by anyone other than hardened geeks who knew how to navigate the Internet's underground.

But then again, we have to cut SJ a break - his world view is apparently too narrow and fragile these days to understand or consider much of anything beyond his black-and-white "commie terrorist mental disorder" vs. "non-commie fellow-conservative good-ole boy".

Nice try little boy.

try again.

BTW You are approaching Dane on the Mental disease scale.

When you get there, don't expect any replies as I refuse to have a battle of wits with the unarmed.

Ditto, ditto, mega ditto...

"Nice try"?

Sorry, but your own words (i.e. repeatedly parroting Michael Savage and the other right wingers' Tourrettes-esque mantra of "liberalism is a mental disorder" for lack of any meaningful, rational, factual, well-formed or otherwise cogent counterpoint) pretty much speak for themselves and reveal all, along with demonstrating the lack of any meaningful ability or independence to think or speak on your own, SJ.

I don't have to "try" - you've done it yourself, by sabotaging yourself every time you've opened your mouth.

You won't respond, because you can't. Perhaps that's your one iota of wisdom herein. Sorry, but given you've already proven your inability to respond meaningfully with anything other than inane comments like "are you off your meds", you're wise to at least not bother wasting everyone's time any further.

The echo-chamber rhetoric of right-wing talk radio falls apart once it gets out into the real world and meets the fresh air and the facts.
