What are you using if any for a weather program.
I just tried
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/desktop/weathereye/.
Overall not bad can put in three places and has wind conditions.
Trying to talk the big boss at work on getting a couple anemometer through work as we already have wireless data outfits. I could put them at my
favorite spots and call them up and..wa la the real wind speed on site.
Life is grand and it looks like another great weekend of snow kiting is coming up.:wee:

I use the National Data Bouy Center website from NOAA.
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/
Tells me what conditions are on the beach where I fly, and off shore.

www.sailflow.com has the results from four different weather models. Providing forecasts up to nine days in advance. It mostly deals with
coastal and Great Lakes, so not help for you, Wolfee.

I use ikitesurf.com, it has proven more reliable than any others that I have used in the past

I use a couple of different sites. I use usairnet the most
www.usairnet.com
and I go to the aviation forcast on the right. It gives me several days to plan but not always right.
I also like
http://localkitespots.com/
which has weather and a great map to show the spots to got to where you live. Being a beginner I like to see the other areas people like to fly. I
am still looking for the ultimate spot near me.

I use http://localkitespots.com mostly cause it's my site.
Forecast data comes from Environment Canada, and NOAA.
Current conditions from the closest airport.
We also include NOAA buoy info world wide.
For snow kiting we just added snow accumulation, and snow depth.
Unlike these other sites, you can link directly to our spots, and add in your own. When you add in a site, it automatically added to our weather feed
within 30 minutes.
Did I mention, it's free (unlike ikitesurf).
