Must not have shown up on the radar.

I don't rely on weather radar. I just look out the window.

No point if you don't go our much or don't have outdoor activities. I
always check the weather radar before heading out on kayak excursions or
on the motorcycle.

I don't go kayaking or things like that. My outdoor activities include
sitting outside to read or occasional grilling. I still don't rely on
some weather radar site that isn't anywhere near me.

If you are just hanging around the house you don't need that sort of
weather information. I don't like to get caught in the rain. The radar
may not be in your neighbourhood but they are close enough to get cloud
and precipitation information. The weather radars I look at are 30
miles or more from me, but they are remarkably accurate.

The stuff I see on TV is in Savannah... I don't live in Georgia. I can
check weather radar on the computer but really, it's enough for me to
look out the window to know whether or not to fire up the grill.

Savannah is less than 50 miles from you, well within Doppler radar range.

Ah, well. Not everybody is a nerd. I forgive you for being normal.

One of my favorite weather sites just has a big graph:

<https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.2112&lon=-83.5999&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical>

The models used by the National Weather Service aren't very good at
predicting for this area, so I only use them for the next day or two.
For a longer-range forecast, I use this:

<http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Weather.aspx?location=USMI0904>

It has radar, so I can see what's coming.

The weather here is so flakey that we sometimes have to check the
radar before we go for a walk. We live on a point of land in Lake
Ontario, and rain or snow streamers can come in from either side of
the point.

we live right at the base of some foothills. There is a road that
travels along the base -- in and out, up and down. On a particular 20
minute drive you can go in and out of snow, sunshine, rain -- all in
the same trip.

The Rockies play hell with the weather forecasting here. The TV channels
waste time showing 5, 7 or even 14 day predictions that are rarely
correct beyond 48 hours.
