I used it over the past two weeks when DD+ screwed up. I found in
addition to the above, there were the latest radar reports,
SELS convective outlook, and weather watch status reports.
unfortunately, as I wrote in a previous article, and as it shows on
your screen after you log in, that it's future isn't good, unfortunately.

By the way, Alden and the NWS banged heads and discovered the DD+ trouble
is on the NWS end. They hope to have it fixed by Thursday, if not
sooner. I also asked them about sites getting refunds for poor service,
and they essentially replied, 'NOT!!!!!!'. Oh, well. Worth a try.
