If WU, Weather Company, Weather Channel (or whatever the combination of ownership/relationship entails) is in decline and going away soon, then I am glad I haven't invested in a weather station yet (still waiting to see what Acurite Atlas looks like). I use WU stations in my locale frequently and find the service very valuable and the accuracy of most of those stations seems to be quite good (based on simple devices I have in my back yard and home for comparison; rain gauge, barometer, in/out thermometer). WU is the only service I have found that has "up to the minute" conditions that are reasonably close to my exact location and it is the main reason I have taken an interest in buying a PWS. I really don't want to get into my own weather web site, so a service like WU is the only thing that would motivate me to buy a PWS. The NWS reporting at my local airport is 20 miles away. That is often not that useful or relevant to me, so WU gives me weather information that is close to home. So whatever the problems with WU are, I hope it continues.
