Title: Any weather.com Gold subscribers here?
Post by: sonicdoommario on January 24, 2008, 02:12:18 PM
Since there are near to no topics regarding weather.com, I thought I'd bring it up here.

Anybody here have a subscription to weather.com Gold? I do, and I think it's a pretty good service. Customized and ad-free.

It's like 24.99 a year, but they offered me a discount when it was renewed and it's 14.99 this year for me this year.

You can customize the layout of your page and there are no ads. You can add up to 20 maps in the "My Maps" page, along with a doppler radar based off of Microsoft Visual Earth. This radar recently replaced an old pan/zoom radar they had on Gold before September 2007.

I've thought about getting a Gold subscription, but never did. :no:

I don't understand why anyone would pay for weather forecasts, unless they were guaranteed accurate.

What do you mean "hidden user"?  :unsure:

I agree Matt. I suppose that's why I never subscribed.  :happy:

I had it about 5 years ago. I don't remember it too well, but it wasn't anything too special.
