Is the weatherbug a good feature, or just annoying?

The chirps it emits when a warning or alert comes out can be annoying, but that can be deactivated. Otherwise, depending on how close the nearest station is to your place, it's nice.

The nearest station to my hall is right on campus, so its probably within a mile or two. The nearest station to my house is a community college about 20 minutes away. Other have said the stations are at local high schools.

It tells wind speed and direction, rain rate and totals, temperature, pressure, humidity, dew point, and wind chill. It has forecasts, radar, local alerts and advisories, and about 30 live cameras from around the area. It's easy to download and use and it's free.

I really like it. You can always see the current temperature and the best feature is that it chirps when there is a weather alert. Not too annoying - once in awhile you get a pop-up ad and a junk email, but not often.
