Any Weatherbug users having problems with it? Trying to watch a storm
coming this way and it freezes up & won't show anything but the opening page. I have no idea how their 'pipes' are configured...everything else on the internets is working fine for me.
Hmm.

1. Sometimes they get overloaded.
I have a lot more luck with the NWS radar. You can hit "animation" and find out what's coming your way. http://radar.weather.gov/

2. Okay, just wondered. The local TV radar is pretty good, just not as
quick & convenient.
Thanks
(I mean the image they put online - KOTV)

6. I quit using weather bug a long time ago
the problem is when it is opened there is so much adware downloaded.And it may cause problems with other programs.I use weather underground dont have any problems.But there are several weather sites (without the ads)available.

9. I had to ditch it off my machine
It made my machine so slow in loading. I do like the alerts of weatherbug, but my puter does not.
