I don't know what it is but something seems different on our Weatherscan. I'm also thinking we got switched over to winter segments? Our Garden and Golf segments are both gone this evening. The Outdoor Activities screen seems different, too. Maybe I just haven't been watching it much lately...? :unsure: Is there a "it's late and I might actually be losing my mind" smiley somewhere?

Well that's weird... we have Garden & Golf back today. They didn't show at all yesterday evening through the night. I thought it was a little too early to be switching us over to the Winter segments. Even if our forecast lows are in the 40's some nights.

Is anyone still getting the summer segments on weatherscan? We are here in Philly and they are usually turned off and switched to Ski for the season here around late October...

We still have summer in Topeka, KS. I was wondering why we still were. Figured maybe since we were still getting into the 60's that was why. We don't get Ski & Snow or anything.

Issue with the ski package, which is delaying the enabling of the winter segments. I hear that the winter segments should be turned on by Thanksgiving.

I thought something was up when we got the Weather Ready messages switched over to winter preparedness ones.

On another note, they did mostly fix the forecast time period bug. It's not saying the wrong date anymore on the black bar ticker. It is still switching over to Tonight at Midnight and then the next day forecast at 4pm until Midnight when it switches back over to Tonight, however.

Well here, they USED to disable Garden around early October since that is when the growing season ends here, and then Golf and Beach later in the month. That stopped around 2008... not sure why since that made better sense... and now they just let it run until whenever Ski is added. Right now we're still getting all 3 summer segments, although certain products on Health and Garden are inapplicable now (such as the pollen report and watering needs index). If the ski issues are still being worked on then they could at least disable the other seasonal data until the spring.

The Pittsburgh Verizon FiOS head-end has now added Washington and Gibsonia to Weatherscan. And I thought that Verizon has abandoned Weatherscan altogether. :club:

On one of Javier's recent videos, where the IntelliStar failed mid-forecast, you can see an ad crawl talking about Weatherscan and FIOS. You can see that the ad crawl says "Weatherscan is now more local! Verizon FIOS TV cust..." (that's all that you can see before the IS cuts out).
