Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

This one. It includes charts, live reports, photos and often a commentary on weather patterns. Very helpful.

My eyesight is bad enough, might be a struggle on the iPhone, the wife does follow that thread on her iPad.

Generally, I go for the weather agency of the country I'm in, since they're providing all the basic data that everyone else uses anyway. So in France it's MeteoFrance, Switzerland is MetoSuisse and in the UK the MetOffice.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

@thefatcontroller, +1 for the Norwegian yr.no long-range usually pretty accurate too, but need to check altitude relating to report. The iski apps are absolutely terrible- christened random number generator app.

@thefatcontroller, yr.no - they have the "oilmoney app"

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

As a general one, I'd recommend the BBC weather app, maybe not for snow falls and levels (snow-forecast.com is pretty handy for that). For everything else, deffo.
i've had accurate forecast all over the world, only matched with aviation specific ones in some sites

Obviously it depends on what you want it for in particular. I like XCWeather as it gives me enough detail and if you turn the phone sideways into "landscape" rather than "portrait" then you can get more detail. It gives a 7 day forecast and is accurate enough for me

You know it makes sense.

Slightly off thread, but I have the bbc weather app and the Met office app on my phone. It is amusing to look at the forecasts for the current day on each and quite often find them diverging, significantly.

For snow its hard to beat wepowder, not sure it comes in app form but you can follow them on twitter and get annoying updates when there's heavy snowfall predicted and you're stuck in work (my only twitter subscription)
