Stupid weatherbug

[celticdragonfly]

I just took weatherbug off my computer. Hate to not have a program like that in Texas in the spring - but I am FED UP with it continually wanting to install updates and try to give me traffic reports and trying to drag up travel reports and all this hassle.

I want a quiet little program that sits there with a temperature display next to my time, lets me get the weather forecast when I click on it, and beeps at me for severe weather alerts. AND NOTHING ELSE. Basically, weatherbug without all the additional crap they kept pouring in. Anyone know of such a thing?

Weather Watcher at www.singerscreations.com works great for me.

searching on "Alternatives to WEatherBug" got me this link:

Sarah has something on her computer, not sure what it is.

We have an actual weather radio from Radio Shack, and it's always turned on for alerts. I'd like to integrate weather band alerts into a whole-house intercom/stereo system, so no matter where we are, we get the signals.

It's not fun having a weather radio in the springtime in Texas, especially when you live on high ground and don't _care_ about the 50-11 flood warnings.

I like the Weatherpixie...I used it at work forever. Really need to download it again, in fact. It's here: http://www.weatherpixie.com/

Weatherbug alternatives

If none of those good suggestions work for you, go into the weatherbug controls and choose what you want to be notified of.

The problem isn't what I'm notified of - the problem is all the additional pieces of software and "upgrades" they keep trying to push onto my computer that I don't want.
