I don't rely on them for exact temps, but more for the high/low since midnight stuff. Those generally seem close. Good point, I need to start paying a little more attention to it. I guess I've always preferred the weather station data to the news versions.
I have written a web application that does temps for a client based on XY coordinates. My app is very similiar to how KSL's works. When you type in Strawberry you are actually returning a XY that goes and checks conditions. Depending on the scale of the map they use, your temps can vary greatly. Say a XY falls into that zone and it's 50 degrees. Now if the zone is 40 miles by 40 miles, you can see it might not be accurate for one spot on the earth, but a great average of that large area. Now if the zone is 1 mile by 1 mile... and your XY falls into that, well, you get the idea or I'm boring everyone to death! [pirate]
