To Moniter Weather
Perfect for NYC dwellers, this app tells you how much it's going to snow in your exact neighborhood rather than giving you a forecast based off your whole city.
Welcome to the social side of weather. WeatherMob allows you to report your weather experience through photos and videos, that also give you the option to share your location, weather status and mood. You can see a personalized, hyper-local eight day forecast, as well as create weather channels that only cover the weather you're interested in.
