Weather widget: too bad it's tied to "Accuweather"
#9
I call it Inaccuweather. Wunderground.com usually does a better job forecasting my local weather.

I suspect their forecast for my zipcode is actually for the neighboring one, which includes beachy areas, because they're usually 2 - 4 degrees below reality. But they've been more than ten degrees off. Sorry, but if it's 76 degrees at 7am, the daily high will not be 78. That happened just a couple weeks ago, when it got up into the nineties (even at the beach).

And they're laughably wrong in predicting rain. Some mornings, I walk out the door and see it's going to rain, so I go back in and get an umbrella. Accuweather insists it won't rain. But it does. And some days, their AccuPop will say 80% chance of rain from noon to 3pm, but it's 3pm and there's not a cloud in the sky.

At this point, my wife and I check their site just so we can laugh about bad they are at forecasts.
