Once the page loads, select "view classic weather.com" wahile it is loading, close by pressing home button on the iphone. Select the weather shortcut again and the rich page will load.
Pain, but it works

Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us. We felt that the load time for weather.com was excessive so we made the decision to force the mobile site and thereby cut our download time in half. We are actively monitoring this, as well as consumer feedback and may make an update to our current strategy soon.
Thanks for taking the time to let us know how you feel and please send any additional thoughts or comments directly to me.

Everybody should email her and complain. If they want to inform us that there is a mobile web that we can go to for faster download speeds, I would have no problem with that. We should not be automatically redirected.

What are your thoughts?
