TWC-owned Wunderground.com and its woes
« on: April 20, 2015, 08:06:30 AM »
I'm not very happy with WU or by extension TWC right now.  :thumbdown:  I'm sure some of you might remember when TWC bought WU.  Well, they neglected to continue showing climatology archive data on weather.com, evidently because it was available on WU. 

Unfortunately, there's been a glitch or something with WU which has wiped out weather condition data, causing every day for any given month in any given city to be represented by one weather condition.  Weather.com's archive only went back a month, but if it weren't dissolved it would beat what WU's archive has turned into.  I used to have fun keeping track of this data and comparing it to other years I had catalogued, but it would appear I've been denied this hobby.  This is one of the problems with consolidation, and it probably wouldn't be a big deal if it were an isolated incident, but it looks really bad given the current climate ( :lol: ) at the channel.
