Right now if I look at the weather, google lists 80% chance of precipitation. My old stalwart the weather channel lists a 0% chance of precipitation. One of the two is certainly off base and I've found that historically they contradict one another. So I ask Languish, who is your trusted weather source?*

Weather.com and Accuweather (on my phone, Beautiful Widgets). They both seem to line up pretty well. I used to use Google on my phone, but I was sometimes getting strange info that wasn't reflecting what I was looking at outside so I switched the app over.
Accuweather from HD Widgets. I had the same problem with google than MBM.
I watch the rabbits at the shelter; they start going bonkers when the barometric pressure drops, and toss their toys around.
Google is fucking useless for weather.

My Cell phone has a weather ap thing that came with it. I have no idea what the source for its information is.
If my leg pains me, a storm is comin'. Then toss my toys around.
Another vote for Accuweather; even the hour by hour prediction is pretty good.
I'm partial to the groping Amanda Seyfried method of weather forecasting as well.

Yeah it does seem that way. From what I recall, I didn't get rained on last night.
@Teach - :D
Ugh, apparently (according to wiki), weatherbug is the 2nd most checked weather site after weather.com.
I look out of the window and assume the weather will stay the same.
Unless it is pissing down with rain, in that case I consult the local BBC forecast for Preston and work out my best chance of avoiding rain whilst taking my constitutional.
You know, I don't check the weather at all these days. I just take it for granted it will be reasonably fine and that someone will tell be if something freaky is to happen someday.
I have noticed that good old Environment Canada tends to be much more accurate than the Weather Channel, or whatever weather app is on my iPod.

This.
WeatherBug on my phone, works just fine.
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/bmx/ on computer.
I have the MyRadar Pro app for my iHipster; it does a better job pushing out weather alerts than TWC app.
Has different map layers, radar types and also tracks hurricanes, tropical storms and other types of warnings. Pretty cool to use.

:lol:
Accuweather and Weather Underground. Both are really accurate from my perspective.
The nice thing about Accuweather is that it ties into a lot of different phone apps.
Weather.com is usually the most solid for me. I usually use the Android widget (Accuweather) because I'm lazy, but it's not always as accurate as weather.com.

Météomédia. The Weather Channel. They are usually ok for big cities, but for the countryside, there's another one people keep referring me to, but I completely forgot. It's a retired meteorologist with his own instruments, and for the area, he has better predictions than Environment Canada, wich closed a bunch of meteo stations all over the countryside, including the one in Quebec city.
