I just love that sini is so aware of his need to be seen as alternative that he needs to get his weather from an alternative underground site?
How about the 1 button app on your phone?
lol i know you're just busting my balls, but for the sake of my board-ego/reputation.... there is literally no comparison between weather.com and weather underground. the latter is vastly superior....
look at the page that comes up for zip code 60666 on weather.com >>
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Ch ... 60666:4:USand compare that to the page on weather underground >>
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/fin ... uery=60666weather.com is trying to link you to giant pictures of weather, blogs, and all kinds of other tangential shit (likely with their business partners) and in fairness i guess you could say that they try to streamline the most pertinent info in the middle of the screen.... meanwhile wunderground just goes BLAM with all kinds of information with easier access to long term forecasts, temperature graphs, and then when you get to the bottom of the page you can see the constantly-updating-readings for like 25 different weather stations in the area.... weather.com? right under their radar check out their vast repetoire of clickbait >>

again, compare that to the vast expanse of extra information wunderground gives you (sunrise/sunset times, precipitation totals, moon charts.... barometric pressure, almanac-style records....) it's just no comparison.
so yeah if you wanna slag me off as a counter-culture weather hipster go ahead.... but i'm telling you that wunderground simply kicks ass for looking up the weather. i'd way rather have all kinds of unnecessary extra weather info on my page than GRAPHIC: TRAGIC END FOR RHINO!!!! but hey i DO wonder if i live in the fattest state... * clicks away *
