Global Forecast Center
« on: April 05, 2008, 10:20:46 AM »
Yesterday and today, it appears that the GFC has been covered up by a more opaque glass yet again, just like in early 2007. I'm guessing it was done since 1B, which had the primary camera shot with the GFC in the background, isn't being used any longer. Do the folks in the GFC not like the more clear glass that used to be up there or something? Did they find it distracting?

Honestly, I don't get the point of that what-so-ever!!.  It's stupid.  I sware they are making drugs in there  :fear: :P.  Kidding of course.

But I can't even imagine why they would do that.

What does it look like with the opaque glass? Can someone provide a screenshot?

They're using this ugly opaque glass as a background for Nick Walker this morning. (and why's he doing the first hour of FO two weeks in a row?)
