Intellicast Radar

[Greg]

Looks like it's taking elevation into account now:

Nice improvement! Too bad I still see to much green currently.

 

[billski]

are you inferring that or is there a statement somewhere? Do they just derive their radar image from NWS? I'd like to know for certain before I hang my hat on it.

http://www.intellicast.com/About/Releases.aspx nothing mentioned

I think they have the best radar by far..

If I am concerned about snow-rain transitions, especially when I have to travel up from the south, these are my favs:

while WC may stink in general, they still do have some good basic data

and Environment Canada is pretty good too

greg/mods, is there anyway we could make the intellicast radar thread a sticky, so when anyone wants to look at a live radar (that's good) we can just go to the weather forum? Right now its still easily accessible but after a few more "official storm discussions" it will be lost in to the pages of the forum. anyone else use it? i've been watching it here all day.

That's a very good idea.

Well, in all honesty, embedding the radar image like I did is sorta bad 'netiquette so I don't want to sticky this thread. Your best bet is to just bookmark this page:

point taken about the 'netiquette. just nice to be able to stay on this site and get the weather. making a bookmark now.

Is that a technical term? Sounds like something from a bad porno...

You need to ski, buddy.

You need to ski, buddy.

Uh... Duh...

 

[twinplanx]

Can only watch for so long...Who is really getting the goods from this one?

 

[billski]

FWIW, in Lexington, light to very light snow since 7am, there is a little less than a half-inch of light fluff on the ground. Enough to freak out the locals....
