You know, this board has about 736 threads re: Weather Underground, and something over 7300 posts... and this is just ONE weather forum discussion website.... now, many of these, if not most, are regarding issues with WU...
I am 'infamous' for my "negative attitude" toward this now crappy webservice, but at one time, years ago, I was a big fan and supporter, and considered myself "cool" and "important", and ".having great credentials".... since I was a "Wunderground" affiliate.
I'd suggest some very deep research into
http://www.theweathercompany.com/ as well as the recurring threads and posts on this website... for example, the 'dumping' without notice of NOAA Weather Radio Feeds, issues with webcams, bad data, etc....
Now the current fad is "My Gold Star".... what the hell... it means nothing... Sheesh.. the IBM acquisition of WU and this irrelevant "GOLD STAR" b.s. among other stuff should show anyone with any experience, that WU/IBM simply does not give a d**m whether you post your product or not... they're going to scrape "quality data" anyway, and the h**l with PWS data, or your local station.... You want to be a part.. fine... but quit your bitchin'.... you've asked for it,... now sleep with it...
I stopped sending to WU years ago.,.. actually had to request a lawyer to send a letter to them to 'cease and desist" picking up my webcams and cancel my account.... there was not even a way to 'cancel' or 'remove' an account at the time... total BS and incredibly 'arrogant'.
If you believe you are of importance to WU... fine. If You believe this gives you some kind of "Status" or "Credibility" or "Quality data"... I've this bridge over a stream in eastern KY for sale... cheap.
They are only interested in money, selling the service to others, advertising, etc... and frankly do not give a damn how much you've invested in time or dollars getting your 'stuff' to them....
Do some more reading on this forum.. Do some research.. .Just because your weather software offers 'upload to Weather Underground" doesn't mean it's necessary....
Do what you will... live with whatever mindset you've developed.... but uploading to WU, in my opinion, is a waste of your bandwidth, your time and energy, your dollars... and you will continue to be 'beset' with 'problems....
I have felt so strongly about this for several years that this is incorporated in my Signature...
And this is on my "About" webpage...
http://frankfortweather.us/wxabout.phpremember... Do What Suits You... don't pay any attention to a fool like me... I'm just an "a*****e probably as stated in the next reply to this thread... but your disappointments and frustrations are just beginning, and my humble opinion is that such folks as continue to consider Weather Underground as some type of "elite' "premier" web data, website service, are grossly misled.
And I personally don't care what replies follow questioning my 'integrity' or whatever... you continue things as you see fit... sit back and watch...
but it would be cool if all the 'complaints' and BS suddenly ceased, Just Watch! They don't give a damn about you as an operator, or as a source!
You opened an account,
you agreed to send your data..
now live with it...
