This is the best weather map I've ever seen. Even Weather Underground's map isn't this detailed. Very impressive, and most probably accurate too. The North Country is gonna get clobbered, and I surely hope that they're prepared.

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.
