I used to be able to get wind speeds from NOAA via their mesonet webpage, but apparently that webpage is kaput. I'm thinking triple digits would have woken me up. It blew pretty good, but I don't think it was honkin that hard. Then again I didn't replace the kids trampoline that blew away in the last hard blow, so my anemometer wasn't working wink

I've had a few landings at Ted Stevens when the 737 was doing the funky chicken while approaching the tarmac.


Why those absolute MORONS at NOAA changed their website is beyond me!!! It was such a good site and so easy to get around. When the POS programmer dies and goes to HELL, a given, he will have to navigate a steady stream of websites every waking hour and while none will be as bad as the schit he wrote it will continue to get worse in perpetuity...

And it will change every hour!

With the site so totally screwed up I cannot even find what I thought I found before!

Just one bull left to cut!

It's a government agency, if they have a website the is useful and easy to navigate they simply have to get rid of it to keep everyone's expectations low for all their nearly impossible to navigate websites. That said the marine weather websites are still pretty good, well until they "improve" them.

That mesonet website was awesome to see how temps and wind speed very throughout town and to track Chinooks when you see the temps rising in the upper elevations of the Chugach.

I can hear the decision maker now "I just heard people love the website, change it!"

So it wasn't just me being 'set in my ways' after all. laugh

I kind of think these .gov websites are rated based on how much traffic they get. If people use them, change stuff until they don't.
