Default What Resources do you use?

Hi everyone, I'm still pretty new on here and out of curiosity what software or websites do you use to track weather, both at home and if your on a chase? I currently use a mix of the data links on here, environment canada's website http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/canada_e.html, and lastly my personal favorite http://www.tornadovideos.net/pages/full_screen/ i find they have the most information available. Many of their models for storm potential and such actually display across the border and are simple enough for average Joe to understand, plus they have a tonne of little information goodies like storm reports which track items like heavy rain, hail and severe wind. Their radar also updates every 2-5 minutes usually.

What do you use?

i use this one: http://www.accuweather.com/ because i live in niagara falls, and i find it's easier to see what is coming up from the U.S with their maps and radar. i just put in niagara falls, ny, and i get a great forcast, and wonderful radar. i find it hard to see what is coming up from the U.S. with a lot of canadian radar...they cut it off at the border...not at all helpful. :/

and i also use the tornadovideos.net. love watching the live chase!
