As for AccuWeather, I used the NOAA, Weather Underground and others before. Accuweather appears to work better for my area on the Rockies. Over the past few years, the others tended to predict unrealistically high temperatures and low winds to the extent that they might be kowtowing to tourism interests.
I still plan to properly mount transducers for a one-wire station here when time allows. My place is in one of the colder, windier spots in the area. Most of the other stations within 50 miles or so are among trees on south- or east-facing, sheltered sides of peaks (bad tech.), and the thermometers are improperly housed (dark, overly sealed coverings that collect heat at over 9,000 feet from sunlight). I don’t do meteorology, but I do good technical work.
I agree that AccuWeather is the best at what they do. I see it in forecasts here in FL. I just don’t like Joel and really like Joe. Up until 2 years ago Bastardi pretty much was AccuWeather. Now, I think Joe’s market is a more refined weather audience.
As an aside, my distaste for Myers is due to his actions on the PSU b.o.t. in November 2011. AccuWeather could correctly predict the Apocalypse, and it wouldn’t make up for his failings in 2011.
