The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Just curious as to what site/software people use to get their weather info? Obviously everyone here uses High Country Weather (haha), but what other places do you get your info from? I use the NWS mostly for their forecast discussions. It can be kind of hard to understand though if you don't know a lot about weather. As far as radar, I use a program called GRLevel3. It costs like 80 bucks but it is insanely awesome and the professional storm chasers actually use it. When it snows though, I use the Weather Channel radar because it differentiates between snow, sleet/ice, and rain. If you are a weather nerd like myself and want to look at weather models, I suggest using TwisterData.com or the Penn State E-wall. Both have their advantages.
WOOOOOO!

Not sure how reliable this is, but it's interesting to say the least, as it would be the 3rd good winter in a row.This is a preliminary forecast made by Cirrus Weather. They are the 2nd prelim forecast that I have found so far that shows well below average temperatures across majority of the Eastern US with above average precip/snow.
