RoadKill Posted January 3, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 3, 2008 I have access through my wireless phone to accuweather and Weather.com. Think it costs me a little each month to access these limited web features. I make the $$ and the wife pays the bills so I really have no idea how much $. $12.95/month seems familiar.

mini-muffin Posted January 3, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 3, 2008 Jeff's got the web connection on his phone too. Plus I always check the internet before we're heading off anywhere. Not that the weather is always accurate, but at least we get a sense of what to expect. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted January 3, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 3, 2008 Lowell there is several ways to check the weather. I like the weather.com weather map, even works in motion.... http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/golf/map/USTX0339?from=36hour_map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted January 3, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 3, 2008 If I'm not riding, I just look out the window. If I am riding, I already KNOW! Other than that, I occasionally catch it on the news or radio - what more could I need? I sure as $%!# ain't gonna pay for it. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRefugee Posted January 3, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 3, 2008 I work with weather fo a living and have found the most informative and user friendly is this one http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/graphical/sectors/ Just click on the map somewhere close to where you want and then play with it. Use it all the time for several days out weather. Make sure you have the mouse over option selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoutman Posted January 3, 2008 Share #10 Posted January 3, 2008 With the new digital TV signals there several of the local TV stations have full time local weather channels. One even has a link to the camera that the ground controllers use at DFW airport so I see what conditions are at the airport from the comfort of my living room. I go past the airport on my way to and from work, so that camera is a good indicator for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonRider Posted January 5, 2008 Share #19 Posted January 5, 2008 I turn on the weather channel for locals on the 8's, that helps me decide whether to ride or cage it to work, the cold doesnt bother me, but if its rainy or frozen precip, I take the cage, I also check the local weather on the NBC affiliate before I walk out the door. I also have accuweahter on the laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight pipe Posted January 6, 2008 Share #22 Posted January 6, 2008 I have a rock outside, kinda like the dog thing, however when the rock is wet its usually because the dog P'd on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of interesting stuff.....This last storm takes the cake as I lost several sections of fence behind me and along side me. I guess I can't cry though, you can only repair a fence so long (this ones 24 years old), so for now, it's time to replace the rear sections with new. The side is still repairable.......some what:whistling:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
