Scale fail?
Supposedly we're getting another load of snow today. Checked the radar at the same scale I always use. First wave of snow doesn't look impressive...
Huh? City building? Never been on the map before, and obviously doesn't belong at this scale. Is somebody hacking the map server?
Here's the same map at Wunderground:
Cheney should be in that position. Makes me wonder if the Weather.com version is doing some kind of Autocorrect. Is it political censorship? Probably not. Bushville, NY (just west of Batavia) hasn't been 'corrected' on the Weather.com map.
= = = = =
Three days later: Now the autocorrect from Cheney to City Building has infected the Wunderground map as well!
