Historical METARS/TAFS etc...

[rudestuff]

Theres probably a better place to post this but it's my 'home' forum - I was at an FBO the other day using their weather computer and there was the option to pull up previous (ie historical) Metars and TAFS. Problem is I can't remember what site it was. Any ideas where to get old TAFS?

You will find a "METAR history" option in http://euro.wx.propilots.net/

Unfortunately www.wundergound.com (http://www.wundergound.com/) doesn't work anymore, does anyone know of another site that provides old METARs from a few days back?

Thanks

Look under "METAR" & it gives you an option to select reports up to 48 hrs old.

Check the National Weather Service site for historic TAF/METAR data at:

From 12/19 18:54 Eastern Standard Time through noon today sky condition clear

That said, my experience is that overcast/broken nights over areas without cutural lighting are dark, dark, dark.

My suggestion is to deviate to follow highways, overfly cities, towns. Plan it from the get-go and you lose minimal time. IF weather was an issue in this incident, then opting to lose a little time by following any of the highways from the vicinity north of Atlantic City back to the Northeast Philadelphia airport, about 70 statute miles ete 0:35 versus 51 statute 0:25, which proved fatal.

If you're enroute and going lower and slower for weather, it's time to stop enroute or return to the starting point. Following that rule will go a long way to retiring after decades and thousands of hours of flight time... in my experience.
