This used to be a great weather site, with its detailed 10 day forecast graphs and the ability to select for a wide range of local weather stations. Sadly however that is in the past.

For a couple of years the performance of the pages (it now takes about 5-10 seconds to load the 10 day forecast) has been pretty terrible. The wide range of local stations have dwindled massively too.

Then about a week ago I found that it was impossible to set the site to show centigrade instead of fahrenheit, without setting up a profile and logging in. Ok, I did that... then the site had to be logged into almost every time I visited, instead of already being logged in.

Then what finally killed it for me was Trustarc. It's annoying enough to have to wait a couple of minutes for the thing to "update my settings" just the one time, but now it happen every few times I go to the site.

So although most of the information that made great is still there, the behaviour of the site has made it too painful to get to.
