Reply to comment by NotARobotDefACyborg in One Final Look at The Incoming Snow & Wind by TheCloudBoy

Quite a few years back I used Wunderground as my go to. Then everything went, well, clunky. Their forecasts were not just off, but WAY off.

I said to myself "How are they as bad as Weather channel now?"

I then looked at Weather Channel and compared forecasts for a few days. The exact same wildly inaccurate forecasts! WTF?

The answer was simple: IBM bought Wunderground. IBM also owns, you guessed it, Weather Channel!

I now use Accuweather, which isn't nearly as good as what WU used to be, but is way ahead of what WU and WC is.

Wunderground has been pretty spot-on recently, though. Don't know if they've adjusted their prediction algorithm or something, but temperature and precipitation are quite accurate.
