Default XC Skies usefulness?

yea i really wish the route function would work with the RUC or NAM
forecasts too. otherwise I like the overlays and the way that XCS
works.

I do subscribe to XCSkies though, it's worth supporting anyone trying
to build these tools since it is the only way to expect them to have
the resources to improve. The interface is great, even if the output
isn't terribly reliable for us. I do find that it is very optimistic,
so if you're looking for motivation to get excited about the weekend
it can be a great tool.


Around here (Virginia) I've found it to be mildly pessimistic. This
suits me well, as I love anticipating a good day and having it turn out
to be a fantastic day.
