Hi all,

I've always found Accuweather to be slightly over-optomistic.
I use NOAA on the computer. NOAA has a local office. It usually tallies very well with Weatherbug which has ties to local stations. If you have varied terrain like here in Colorado, the local stuff does better. For instance:
the Springs is around 6200ft above sea level. 20 miles to the west, you could be at 8000ft. Which could mean that 20 miles west it is snowing, and you have rain.
