So it wasn't the video card...
The only thing that caught my eye was the map of the Kalos region from Pokémon behind your TV set in that picture :bleh:

What does that have to do with TWC? I have that same exact poster too. Either way, don't get me started with Pokémon.

By any chance, does this happen within a second (like a flash) or  does it happen longer than a second because this happened to my IS2 within a second.  :dunno:


Nice to hear it's not an isolated incident, it happens a split second.

This seems to be the exact same thing that happened with my IS2 when it actually worked.

Well geez I'm sorry that it has nothing to do with the weather channel at all, just something that i noticed  :noexpression:

Alex Wilson and David Schwartz have got to be the best OCM pair in a long time. Their personalities mesh in well.

Last time I can picture a great pair together was Steele/Cantore, Goodloe/Lopez, Steele/Goodloe during EE weekday evenings in 2006

I fully agree with that statement

Did anyone get an email from TWC regarding a weather.com survey?

What about the Walker/Brown pairing back when they did the daytime WeatherCenter broadcasts? I always thought that pairing was another good one too. Some of the other best parings I could think of in the past, Schwartz/Andrews (from around 2006-07 or so that eventually led up to Bob Stokes' firing) and previously with Seese/Tesch back in the early years of Your Weather Today (now Morning Rush). I miss some of those past personalities and parings.

Carl Parker and Jennifer Lopez was another great pairing on PM Edition several years back.

If this show is categorized as Sports, then why the heck is it on The Weather Channel?  :rolleyes:

Because sports often take place outdoors in the weather?

Sorry... that's the best I could come up with, and even that's very flimsy, albeit accurate.

I like the concept/idea of the Weather Lab, but my only complaint is over how the lab looks too cluttered to me with all those monitors/boards. I don't know if some of them are just there for props or they are being legibly used on/off air.
