Use of Accuweather products

#1 Postby dhweather » Fri Jun 10, 2005 12:24 pm

Given the bill that Pennsylvania based Accuweather is backing through
Pennsylvania Senator Rick Sanotorum, which will significantly reduce, if not
eliminate the free access we have to NWS products and data, should
storm2k establish a policy of banning accuweather produced items
from being published or linked on the storm2k board?

I rarely ever used them before this(mainly only to see if they differed from the NWS/Local TV etc.) but I certainly won't now. :grr:
