This comment is absolutely disgraceful! Especially for someone who has used this site as often as you have, since its inception. I can't believe I'm the first person with the ballz to call you out on this.
Some of the top meteorologists in the northeast post on this site on an hourly basis! Free of charge! This site has meteorologists from top 30 television markets posting on a daily basis. All for free! This site has weather enthusiasts posting valuable weather data, for free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 365 days a year.
Is this site perfect? Of course not. New users and novice weather enthusiasts who don't understand model data are often treated like staffers at an all you can eat buffet once they tell Chris Christie the kitchen is out of prime rib...but nevertheless this is the best site for weather model data and discussion for any weather enthusiast who lives along the eye 95 corridor from the D.C. suburbs on up into Portland Maine.
My advice to the owners of this site, start charging. Forge an agreement with maue or Bastardi. Then get rid of the pop ups.
