In case you’re in need of a good weather website, I really like Weather Underground. It has a few too many ads (especially ones that blink and move, nothing should ever blink on a website), but it also has lots of cool features. Mostly, it lets you look at data, and dig down into things, zoom in and zoom out, see history and trends and averages. You know, generally dork out about weather data.
I mention it mainly because this was the detailed weather description on Weather Underground for where I live a few nights ago. Not particularly notable for the weather itself, I just like the language.
Not 95% relative humidity and 7/8ths of a mile of visibility, but- “new snow accumulation from big fluffy flakes.” and “Some spots could see up to an inch of fluffy powder… and other areas may see nothing at all. It all depends on where the individual snow showers fall.” The human descriptiveness. The honest uncertainty and “it’ll fall where it may” attitude. Not something you see often on a weather website. I like it. I get excited about small things like this.
