Sorry, didn't mean to offend you. Although personally I wouldn't want either of us to be a groupie for me...

Sorry for the hi-jackedness Greg. I seriously do use you for my weather...

He's usually pretty on the money. Especially his longer term forecasts throughout the winter.

I like the layout of snowforecast.com

however, accuracy isn't all that great. In the case of this storm, that's a good thing. As late as yesterday morning there was still a lot of *r* in their forecast for the Whites.

I find that the weather sources I like the most are ones that discuss the weather, not simply put a weather icon up with a hi and low temperature. Obviously powderfreak's reports are even better because in addition to a discussion about a storm, its interactive as well (ability to ask questions, etc.). The other big plus in weather reporting is if the source takes elevation into consideration or is ski-resort specific.
