Weather Channel has wrong city

The FIOS settings for the Weather Channel and Weather Scan are the wrong city. It has Newark, NJ. Before with Optimum it was Mt. Holly for northwest NJ (I'm in Dover NJ) and that was accurate weather. For example, today is snowing up to 5-8 inches in Dover, NJ from various sources. And Newark is all rain with maybe an inch of snow.

Verizon essentially uses one location for each of its areas, so may well not be completely local.

PS Newark is slightly closer to Dover even if you think the weather reports aren't as accurate.

Saying Dover is closer to Newark is only looking at miles. Newark is by the coast and warmer. Mt. Holly shares a similar distance inland with Dover away from the shore and ocean, also a higher elevation than Newark.

I am familiar with the area. But the point is they are not putting up a weather channel feed for each area especially with those all being so close together. The use only one for the area(I am not sure if that's by VHO or something smaller). In some areas of the country picking ones over a hundred miles away.
