Accuweather? Lol please give me that 45 day daily forecast! All apps use the same fucking forecasts that our government puts out. The problem i think is with people's expectations. They dont understand weather and think it's easy to predict like some other things. They dont understand that it is a dynamic, chaotic, non linear system where repeating the same process 1000x will always yield slightly diff results

We track the snow forecasts closely and my experience is that any forecast more than a week ahead is no better than a coin flip and will usually be changed. We joke about Inaccuweather.

To be fair forecasting snow is hard. I'm just generally against certain companies that 'sell' products that are garbage. If you want helpful weather forecasts go to your local government weather office forecast page. Dont trust some giant global company trying to make money selling ad space on their webpage
