Looks like Julie Martin has a baby bump but she's trying to hide it during 2pm of DP.

Yeah and someone already mentioned in the Julie Martin thread that she was almost 5 months along back in late October.

Have any of you watched 2011: Weather by the Billions?  I'm curious to know how the background effects are being done when Jim is talking solo or conducting interviews.  Is he standing in front of the 3-D chroma key the entire time?  And what about the chairs for the interviews?  Are those on top of the 3-D chroma key?

Also, it's kind of funny to see how short Jim is compared to the other meteorologists.  Now I don't feel so bad about my height... :P

Yes, the chroma key wall is used, chairs and all.

Yes, I think Jim is 5'4". I'm 13.5 inches than him. :P

I saw this picture on an article on weather.com called "Meteorological images of 2011" It shows a picture of Jeff Morrow during the April 27, 2011 Super Outbreak, with a Tornado Watch scroll from the XL.

I saw the actual video with that XL crawl a few months ago, but I don't remember who the YouTube user was who published it. Speaking of that outbreak, man there is literally a library of videos from Huntsville, to Birmingham, to Tuscaloosa as all the tornadic chaos unfolded. It's definitely worth a look at for nostalgic and historic purposes.

I just saw Terri Smith on during DP. It's great to see her again, as I believe the last time she appeared on TWC was in 02? She appears to be doing the travel segments on DP.

No, the last time was December 2011 :P

Icon degradation?! :P :blink:

Happened on every page I went to with the "clear" icon (large size only).

LOL!  Did you try clearing out your cache?  It's possible you recently downloaded an incomplete file, and your computer keeps pulling that incomplete file out of the cache to display the image.

I loved Terri Smith when she was a regular, I'm glad she's been on again lately.
