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.

Not often, but when time is of the essence it is logical to not have a driver HAVE to search, especially when I knew, because it had been expressed to me by EMS friends, that until recently the E911 system was typically off by as many as 50 "House" numbers in my area..

I've learned to stand at the end of the driveway and flag them in whenever my household has needed services. Hell, The last time around I even wore a hi-vis vest.
