Weather Your Way!

Help me choose.

from WinCustomize Forums

I have had several comments, emails, and PMs about my weather widgets lately.  Some want TWC weather, some want Weather Underground. Obviously, I can't please everyone, and I can't make 2 of each weather widget. So, I decided to take a poll.

I'll give you all some time to vote here and then I'll make a decision on which I will use. Do you like the TWC weather, which gives more accurate, closer to home information, but requires registration, or would you rather have WeatherUnderground that only gives airport weather info that doesn't require registration? The latter can be a 2 part widget too, which I like. The TWC is a larger, one part widget, unless sViz can help me to make a 2 part version?  (hint , hint)

I prefer the latter because I don't like the TWC logos and crap on my widget, but I'll let you help me to decide......go vote!!

^ What they said...

The two part widget is very good.

Decisions, decisions...logos, crap and registration or a simpler smaller widget.

Since I don't live by the airport it would be nice to get a more accurate report but if I really wanted to know what the weather is like I could just look out the window.....

Where was I...hmmm, aww heck...I vote for what ever is easier for you to create.

Technically, it's a Wunderground/NOAA hybrid, NOAA being the limiting factor on locations. An all Wunderground weather widget might be in the future, it might be as accurate as TWC, and it might be developed before any further TWC widgets.

For now, I'm with everyone else. Registration and logos are a drag.

Weather Underground is not able to give me codes to a close weather station as Weather.com can

Choice is simple for me.

Actually Weatherunderground can be very accurate as they allow you to use private weather stations. I've attached a link showing radar and the available weather stations around me.....keep in mind that accuweather and TWC use the airports of which there's only two on the map one in Daytona 12-15 miles away with all the difference the ocean makes and one in Sanford about 20 miles away. I llok forward to any all wunderground widget.

I'm less than a mile from #93

Absolutly wrong, that's precisely because they don't use only airports locations that i can get 3 Weather locations which are from 500 m to 5 kms (in the air) from home

I vote for Weather Underground, especially if Eve comes up with her new one. I don't like logos or ads or registration. I'm pretty sure that I'm never going to use TWC widgets again, even if they match the skin I use.

Here's my 10cents (inflation) opinion.

yeah that little blue twc logo square really kills the nice look of matching skins. that and the airport i use on the other ones is only 5 minutes away so thats accurate enough for me. ;)

Looks like 11 to 1 and 1 undecided to me. I'll keep checking. :D

One of the 'trinkets' I gave to the Stardock crew on my visit there was an Aussie weather gauge [a piece of string nailed to a piece of wood].

It works perfectly...;)
