When I saw the new icons, I fell in love with them immediately   :P  :lol: I liked the old ones too, but it just felt like they were getting too old.  8)

I'm not a fan of the "new" icons...simply because they're not iconic.  They look like ambiguous blobs of color, especially at small sizes.

I like the new wintry ones better than the rain or thunderstorm ones. The rain looks like light snow and there's no difference with scattered and isolated thunderstorms.

The new icons are plain too blobby.

I'm used to the new ones. I still prefer the 1998 icons over the new icons, but the new set is pretty good as well. I'm not sure whether I should still use the 1998 icons in my weather report graphics or switch to the new ones.

Mike, the 1998 icons were the same before the new icons came out. Actually the old icons are still used on the XL. I wish the Intellistar and Satellite forecast had them back

No sir. They've changed twice since then. Mike is correct.

I remember seeing variably cloudy once on A&B awhile back.

I've seen the variably cloudy icon used a few times on the Global Forecast and International Business Travel segments in the past few years.
