Cool. I use ADDS mostly and AOPA for radar. Looks like ADF links mostly to ADDS anyway.

ADDS and AOPA are good. I tend to go to DUATS just because I'm used to it, and I try to have the radar display in front of me when I call FSS. I still much prefer calling them if it's possible -- I want a live briefing with a real person, especially because it's still possible to get a local who knows the area well, and gives me better information as to trends, etc.
Besides, that way I get statements like "WHOA!!!! No, no, no!! You don't want to go THERE.... it's UGLEEEEEEEEEEE over there!!" ;D
That's one of my favorite briefings.. I responded, "HOW ugly?" And he said, "Ooooh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-gleeeeeee!" It was so funny. :D :D

If you want a live briefing, and don't mind paying for it, the UV and Jeppesen weather departments are really good. I used to work for both companies and the WX guys are real professionals. The only problem is they will charge you a lot for the info!

Today was the first time I looked at it and the whole state wasn't an airmet! ;)
It's super CAVU today (NORTHERN, Cal.) with 0 wind, snow on the mountains, and temps in the low 60s----Perfect day for a $100 hamburger---and I'm flat on my butt with a cast on my foot----BAH!!!! :(
