Has anyone heard about this?

I came across the post below and thought it raised an interesting point about the limitations of ADS-B and XM weather.

I’m interested in hearing how members approach weather avoidance when enroute.

• How do you use ADS-B weather once you're enroute?

• Do you have personal minimums for how far you stay from cells shown on ADS-B?

• How much do you rely on visual observations, ATC, pireps, or other resources when deviating around weather?

• Have you ever encountered a situation where the ADS-B picture was significantly different from what you saw out the windshield?

The FAA and Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) will co-host a public virtual workshop on Wednesday, May 6, 5-7 PM ET to discuss proposed modifications to the airspace over RDU. The changes would allow better management of the area’s complex aviation activities. Learn more and register at https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/community_engagement/rdu.

For about the past week, I’ve been getting no METAR data for KBUY in Garmin Pilot, the Aviation Weather Center website

, and a few other weather sites. Meanwhile, nearby airports seem to be reporting just fine… and the ASOS is working when you call it

Before I break out a windsock and my weather rock and call it good, is anyone else seeing the same thing at KBUY and/or is it working in Foreflight?
