weather forecasting

Has anyone come across www.accuweather.com before? 15 day forecasts,
detailed down to the nearest hour believe it or not. Apparently a
fortnight today, at 2pm in Val d'Isère, there will be a 12.87 kph
northwesterly, gusting to 20.92 kph, 77% cloud cover, ceiling at 2,800
ft..... etc etc.

Still at least the forecasters have got it right for today........ the
guy who nearly cancelled his trip to La Plagne would have been kicking
himself. And plenty more to come for a day or so, by the look of it.

Tacky and covered in advertising, it's very .... what's the word I'm
looking for ? :-)

And here (Morillon), it's been snowing nearly all day and after a
brief respite it's just started again, forecast was pretty much spot
on so far.

Which location did you choose for Morillon? I'm a Les Carroz person myself.

eh ? The usual location on the road between Taninges and Samoens on
the D4 :-)

Still snowing, quite a transformation over the last few days and more
on the way I think.

You may be confused, I meant a location NEAR the D4 that accuweather
understands so that you can check their forecast compared to what is
actually happening ON the D4.
