Remember when the NWS issued travelers advisorys ?

I loved that....Just like anything anymore....If its Good and Free, It wont last these days.

National Weather Service was as good as your CB Radio-

 

Pretty sure every state dot has a website.

 

We would rather just turn the radio on and hear a calming,convincing voice of weather and roads.... Not always having to hear chinese beeps from a smartphone.

 

I have that WeatherBug on my Phone- Its ok...I prefe rto hear a Humans voice on the Radio..AM or FM dont matter

 

Let's say the advisory closed I-80 in wyoming announced to the whole region.

US 30 will fill up with the same problems.

I don't do advisories. I know when there is a storm coming with enough time to get Auntie into the hole.

 

They still have them, but you have to pull it up to get the detailed info. NWS all I use.

For the n00b's - You have to look at the whole thing and like everything else it's a developed skill. Just because the forecast is blue, that means it's definitely gonna snow, but an 1 inch or 16 inches? Etc.

 

They had a message on NOAA radio a few years ago that they were doing away with travel advisories and road closures
