I think it says something that we live in a world where NOAA data could be seen as an underground or less than legal means of getting the weather.

Perhaps AccuWeather has been successful in their campaign to keep free weather data as obscure as possible.

I wish the NOAA API was reliable. I'd pay for it if they could make it reliable (and they could probably make it reliable if they charged for it).
