    Just got my mobile internet setup (verizon air card). And Im wondering what program or website you all use for getting the most up to date, and easiest to understand weather info?

    I use the one for weather channel. You can figure out the address.

    We are not supposed to put the websites on the posts.

    For road conditions, I usually google Illinois Road Conditions. Or whatever state you want. It will give the current conditions.

    Weather sites are acceptable links.

    We have a thread with links to all road conditions in the weather section under Trucker Road Cams & Weather Cams

    GuysLady and Cybergal also do a good job of posting weather conditions on here too.

    I usually use weather for checking the weather... my Vista Sidebar gadget checks from wunderground, which is also fast, simple, and efficient. WeatherChannel is by far my least favorite.

    Take your pick :yes2557:

    http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/trafficinfo/

    Complete with live cam feeds, accident/incident markers. Road construction issues, road conditions and closures.

    Everything you could possibly need, except a radar map.
