Have made today a 'free' day, also they have changed the forecasts to 'free' 6 day forecasts for non-subscribers and 9 day forecasts for members!

feefee, I noticed this too - but trying to get on the subscriber parts still seems to chuck you into registration. Also it's failed to load free pages....I used to be a big fan but have switched my allegiance to my heros on the Weather thread here at Snowheads. Not sure if you are connected with Snow-Forecast but if you are I think they need to know....

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

kewhoward, No not connected at all. just obsessed with checking forecasts to where I've been, where I'm going and where I'd like to go! 
There was a message saying 'bear with us whilst we update the site' probably why they made today a 'free' day!

Interesting business decision....
I have subscribed for last few years as worth paying for 6 days rather than 3 for free.
Not worth paying for 9 if 6 are free, those back end 3 days are going to be a good deal less accurate.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

www.snow-forecast.com do occassionally have a phase where they do free days to promote their subscription service.
I had an email informing me they were in one of these phases although I didn't know that today was a free one.

rungsp, I agree - I've subscribed in the past and thought it was a clever model which they appear to have blown?! Very odd.
feefee, as I suspected, just another sad case of addiction to unquenchable thirst for the unknowable and unchangeable....

rungsp, kewhoward, I suspect they'll have been losing business to the metchecks and netweathers and so on.
I like snow-forecast's presentation but I think they've been a bit complacent by sticking with the free GFS output. If I were them I'd be trying to hook up with the chaps at Meteoblue who are running a proper short term localised model (NMM) and could give them a major leg up in getting it right at specific locations in the 0-5 day timescale.

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

brian, You forgot to mention also losing business to those of us who find your (and other snowheads) musings much more entertaining - and I was referring to their business model rather than their computer model (which presumably is just an automated cull of the same ones you use?)
