I don't use spyware, which is what weatherpest is, IMHO.

I use Storm2K and a lot of other sites for my info. If you run Ad-Aware you'll see what I mean about weatherpest....

it is pretty useful though it supplys live wind speeds and temps and a radar and it alerts you if there is sever weather coming it's cool other than the spy ware (i guess) i found it through school beacuse one of my science teathers installed a weatherbug station on top of the middle school

The internet 99% of the time... more timely, more accurate. I only use for TWC for additional info. Local channels for local effects etc.

I don't use TWC as much as I did, now I use the Internet.

I get much of my wx info from govt sites and wx forums, such as Stormtrack, Geo-Earth, WeatherMatrix, EasternWx, Wright-Wx, and of course, Storm2k.

Used to use the TWC but not a lot now. I use the internet a lot. NOAA, Storm 2k, Accuweather, local channels in my area of course.

I monitor trends and discussion on the latest weather through Storm2K, JSquared, and the local NWS. When severe weather is really bearing down though, I find the local channels still have the best coverage!
