Ha ha. Are you old enough to remember when the "new math" was introduced in school? I remember thinking, "You can have numbers less than zero? Everybody knows that is just stupid!"

I like most of the changes and their new logo. TWC spent some cash on this upgrade.

Prefer more substance - less glitzy stuff (Re: New Weather Underground)

Hi Blick, Randall, Reinhard, and WeatherCat fans,

I have been with WU since 2002 it will take me a little while to get use to there new graphs some things I like some I don't

I think I'll side with Randall on these changes.  Overall, I'm not sure the website changes are truly clearer.  These days everything is more glitzy - but glitzy isn't always better.  Somehow the weather is the sort of think that people should be able to pay attention to because of the contents - not the hype.  Those who don't might end up discovering that Mother Nature has - ways - to get their attention about what the weather is actually doing!  [thunder]

Call me old-fashioned. . . .

Cheers, Edouard

P.S. As an example, just now my station's WU page there were indications of rain on the Doppler radar when everybody knows that around here there is nothing but . . . .
