:facepalm:

I mean, I guess it kind of makes sense, because NBC owns TWC, but couldn't they at least be original and think of some new icons?

I know. Those cheese puffs and overeasy egg icons are really getting to me. :P

But I agree, I don't really care for the 2010-present icons.

I like the 2006-2010 IS icons better (and of course the 1998-2006 icons even better.)

According to Mike Bettes' Facebook, he is going back to NYC on Monday for YWT.

Was Mike off last week after the Tornado Hunt? I did not watch YWT/WUWA since I have no school. Can you guys confirm that?

Mike was off last week.

WCL started early at 6:30pm ET  on Tuesday as TWC covered severe storms in Texas.
Wednesday it's extended 7pm to 9pm  ET for coverage of severe storms in Texas.

As of 9:10PM ET the Doppler radar seems to be experiencing an outage (the radar box is absent on my Weatherscan.)

Yeah, according to weather.com the radar is back up and running (it jumped frames from 5:30PM PT to 6:10PM PT.) Perfect timing because I pressed record on my DVD recorder nearly ten minutes ago when the radar box was missing on Weatherscan  :bleh:

Hmm this was interesting to hear. I am curious if they will keep the two apart

Stephanie was off today
The OCMs were, 5:30am-6am Jen and Maria.
7am-9am  Mike, Maria and Jen.
Mike and Maria were at the desk and Jen did reports and the 7 Day Forecast.
I don't get why First Outlook changed with one OCM on 4am-5:30am and two of the YWT OCMs on 5:30am-6am.

I thought she was now permanently in New York?!?! :blink:  Don't tell me this was all temporary.  I mean, I honestly thought she moved up there and would permanently be on WUWA with Al from the NY studios, hence all of the welcome celebrations and stuff they had.  Is this no longer the case?

I heard at first that the moving of Stephanie Abrams to New York was just "experimental", but I guess because it's working out, it seems more permanent.. :thinking:
