Top 10 Weather Apps For Smartphones And Tablets
Washington, DC (PRWEB) February 12, 2014 -- This rough winter continues to get rougher. Cold temperatures, snow, ice and freezing rain have taken a toll on the majority of the United States. The first day of spring isn’t until March 20th, and the way things have gone, many parts of the country will still be dealing with bad weather well after that date.
A good weather app on your smartphone or tablet can be the difference between being home and cozy in front of the fire or stranded in your car on the side of the road. Just ask the folks in Atlanta.
