The one thing that is good about WU is that you can get really, really local weather from any nearby PWS. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to get the closest. Only maybe the 20th or 30th closest.
If you know where you are, you can zoom in and select any given PWS. Unfortunately it doesn't "stick", and you always have to start from 14 miles away. -bp On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 1:33 PM, Andrew Haninger <[email protected]> wrote: > I use Weather Underground for showing the temperature in the notification > bar top left, but like others have said it is otherwise useless.
