I am a weather-watching FIEND. I have to be. I live in Upstate New York, and not even winter can stop me from traveling! Our last excursion to the Adirondacks was a little dicey– one of our local weather dudes called for “relatively” precipitation-free weather… NOT. It iced, snowed, and rained freezing drizzle as we drove three hours north. Not fun.

With our last snowstorm (“Snowmaggedon” everyone called it), AccuWeather was right on the ball. You see, I hadn’t heard anything about the coming storm on the local weather, but a friend of mine referred me to AccuWeather for information. I had no idea such a storm was imminent! It took a full two days for the local weather dudes to even address it. AccuWeather had detailed information up long before the others I’d checked.

AccuWeather is a traveler’s dream– you can grab weather forecasts and stats from anywhere in the world, about anywhere in the world. And they also have a ton of nice “side dishes” (lifestyle articles), like: “Weather and Travel” articles (today’s article is about tips for traveling creatively); “Weather and Home and Garden” with tips, advice, and gorgeous photos; and I love the “forensic weather” section. Plus, they have good videos with lots of weather stats (I’m also a weather stat fiend).

The “new and improved” AccuWeather is in Beta, now. It looks great! The webpage is less cluttered and it’s easier to navigate. The big search engine button is at the top, ready for spitting out the local weather. It looks very nice, nice and streamlined.

I think I’ll be turning to AccuWeather for my main forecast watching. I was pretty impressed with their accurate predictions about “Snowmaggedon,” plus the site is much easier to navigate. Check it out! They have a rather interesting spring outlook for the month of March…. we’ll see….
